Advice is cheap, and as someone who rarely gives advice, I am always cautious about doing so. Okay, that is a total lie. I love giving advice. And I cannot post the workout today without some helpful hints as to how to make it a pleasant experience for all of you at home. Failure to follow this advice may leave you languishing in the depths of swimming boredom.
First, the workout:
3 x (3 x 50) going stroke, free, drill on :60
3 x (3 x 75) going 50 fly/25 free, 50 back/25 free, 50 breast/25 free on :20r
18 x 100 on 1:30 (this is what the advice is for)
3 x (3 x 50) going 2 back on :50, 50 free on :60
Second, the advice:
Don't do this one alone, because you'll likely get to #9 and bail. Try to find friends or a buddy and convince them that 18 x 100 is fun. My buddy was BB today and if not for him, I would have been at work at 7am. We swam side by side which also helped the pacing. Also, try to mix it up a bit. For instance, we chose to break it up into 3 sets of 5 x 100 doing 1-5 swim with various 50s fast, 6-10 pull, 11-15 descend 1-3, easy 4, fast 5, then hold the last 3 on 1:20. Keep your mind engaged and it makes it more fun.
Campaign update: The response to my possible run for Senate has been remarkable. Thus, I have added a few things to my platform, among them:
1. No more 450 yard kick sets on the first swim day of the week… or any other day for that matter
2. No more 75 flys on the first swim day of the week… or ever
3. Long course only
4. Make it light for morning bike rides to practice
Lastly, I will be developing a patronage system, much like other politicians, and will find a cushy, high paying job for Coach Bill so that the above (minus the whole sunlight thing) can be accomplished.
