Awesome run...It was very easy paced, but I felt soo good. It rained the whole time, but it was a cool rain and it wasn't windy. I didn't feel to good the first 30 min, but after that i felt like i could run forever! I seriously thought about going for 2 hours or more, but i want to absorb all my training and not be to tired. I've been feeling so bad on my runs because i've been biking a lot and pretty hard. Also kept the HR below 170 which is amazing for me!

Run Base
Endurance

Swim
  • 45m
  • 1600.00 yards
  • -----

Swim Form
2,300
WU: 400 easy. Then 'swim golf' = 6 x 50 on 15" rest & count strokes. What combination of time and strokes gives you the lowest 'score?' (Ex: 43 strokes + 45" = 88).

MS: Swim a moderate effort using the same stroke count in WU set. 12 x 100 (10" rest between) moderate. 4 x 50 kick (20" rest between) moderate.

CD: 200 easy alternating 50 pull, 50 swim.

Pull Drill - Focus will be on learning to 'catch' the water with your forearm and pull yourself through the water. If you feel your lats (the muscles under your arm pits that go down the side of your back) engage, then you are starting to get it. If your shoulders are tired, then you are still using too much shoulder and not enough lats. Kick (Regular) - regular kickboard kick or kick on back with hands over head, fingers locked.
