Swim Workout Today

September 20, 2012 by Mom on the Make 3 Comments

Swimming WorkoutThis morning’s workout was fantastic.

After not going to workout for five days, I was concerned that I would not be able to handle the workout. Β Its very difficult when you get out of a routine.

I have been suffering from insomnia for the past few days, making it very difficult to get up at 5:30am.

However, this morning I persevered, and after three hours of sleep, still made myself get out of bed and drive to swim practice.

Here’s the workout:

200 swim free

200 kick free

200 drill swim (drill down, swim back)

200 (75 easy, 75 build, 50 Fast)

16 x 50 (1-8 IM {one 50 of each stroke, go through it twice} 9-16 {free on 50/45/40/35, go through twice})

16 x 100 free

Intervals as follows: 1-4 (1:45, 1:40, 1:35, 1:30) 5-8 (1:40, 1:35, 1:30, 1:25) 9-12 (1:35, 1:30, 1:25, 1:20) 13-16 (1:30, 1:25, 1:20, 1:15)

2800 yards

This was a great workout, but to be honest, I had to get out a touch early, and only made it to the 9th 100 of the last set.

So, so glad I made myself go this morning. Hopefully back on track now. πŸ™‚

    That’s pretty good after only sleeping 3 hours. Make sure you eat a healthfully breakfast.

      Yes, the healthy breakfast is key. I have been loving the Fruit and Nut Granola cereal from Trader Joe’s complemented with hot green tea.
