2010 - Will the heart let me train?
December 1
November 30
First day of implementing the things I learned from Weds. Drills and focusing ....
100 focused (not hard) - 1:45
100 single arm w/ kick board (alternate arms every 25)
100 focused - 1:43
100 single arm w/out kick board
100 focused - 1:41
100 catch-up
100 focused - 1:39
100 kick with kick board and fins
100 focused - 1:41
100 kick fins w/no kickboard
100 focused - 1:41
100 "monkey" half length with high elbows and head forward and out of water (to nose) then regular swim with high elbows second part of length each time
300 focused - 5:16!!!
Never went hard, never pushed it, just focused on long strokes, staying off the centerline, high elbows on the recovery and being relaxed. Great session!

39/15 cool down 10 minutes.
Been quite awhile since I did any sort of interval work on the trainer. I normally do this workout ladder up to 5 minutes but it is too early in the pre-season to do that. As I get more base miles I'll come back to this one more.
Time/distance are total guesstimates. First meeting with Coach Sue to start working on my swimming. She had me do a 100, then showed me a group of drills to help correct some issues and gave me a simple plan of attack.
The gyst of it is, I need to get more out of my stroke and do less per length. She wants me in the 14 - 16 per 25 yards instead of the 19 - 20 that I was. With a few simple drills she had me at 16 ..... ;)

Recovery
Two easy shorter loops around the neighborhood. Just ran a comfortable slow pace and enjoyed the 50 degrees and 15+ mph winds. Weird weather going on .... No HRM on this one.

Medium-long
Same route as last week. Started off with a relative easy pace and HR was in check. But really started to tire out towards the end and HR elevated a bit.
It's official .... time to lay off the pumpkin pie and leftovers ..... most I've weighed in a while!!
Plan is for medium-long run today. May try to squeeze another short trainer ride in tonight, but doubtful that will happen.

Wow .....
Basically this was 10 mile tempo run! Ended up going with the fast group (go figure). These are all around 3 and sub 3 marathoners and mid 30 10kers. They were chatting at 6:40 pace .... ugh! This was a just hold on and see what you've got run, but went well until the last mile or so where I started to fall off a little.
