One of my clients has been helping me out with my swimming. She was a collegiate swimmer and a coach for a few years. She went to the pool with me a few weeks ago and needless to say she impressed me!! So today I tried one f the swim workouts she gave me. I thought I was going to die at the half way point but glad to say I powered through!!
She had me doing drills which I hate...probably because I'm not very good at them. I started with swim/kick/pull rotation. Then I moved to side swim and technique drills. The endurance part of the workout was about 960 meters and then I got a 80 meter cool down. Altogether I was in the pool for over an hour. I love the way I feel when I'm getting out of the pool. I feel refreshed and strangely energized. After my swim I lifted for about 30 minutes. I did some chest, bicep, triceps and ab work.
So far this week I've stuck to my schedule. Monday I did a 7 mile run. Tuesday I lifted, focusing on my legs. Then I took a spin class and finished my workout with 20 laps in the pool. Today was my long swim. Hopefully I won't run outta steam for the rest of the week!
