WARM UP:

100 ROBINS

Reverse IM
Only Pull
Breast
IM
No Pull
Stroke of Choice

WORKOUT:

Time to work on pure length of time swam without touching the bottom or taking a break. STROKE DOES NOT MATTER. Obviously free is the best choice, but as you tire, or need to catch your breath, switch to breast or back. How long can you keep going?

If you are preparing for tris, you will most likely be swimming in a lake where you don’t have the option of stopping at the wall, so let’s get used to swimming until we are tired, and then pushing through that tiredness. PLEASE do not endanger your life. If you are truly exhausted, STOP.

WORKOUT:

BIG CHUNKS

Today’s workout is based on longer chunks of time~ our normal has been 10, today we move to 15 minutes of non-stop swimming. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE BREATHING EQUALLY TO BOTH SIDES, TAKING A BREATH EVERY 3RD OR 5TH PULL.

Set 1: Swim as all free, with speed in the striped zones. In the blue zones, you can slow down and take it easier, but be sure to sprint the middle of each 25.

Set 2: Swim as IM in as much as you can. Feel free to swap out fly once you get tired for ANY other stroke~ free, back or breast. If you can manage a 25 fly the entire 15 minutes, feel free, but do NOT over-do it.

Set 3: Back to free, with concentration on easy stroke, and no breathing in the blue zones. Speed is NOT a consideration here, moderating your breathing IS.
