Today’s training:
Pool swim
While the race day swim is basically long and low, you want to work on skills that:
1) improve your “low” pace
2) improve your confidence
3) improve your form
Today was more about 2&3 rather than getting some intensity in there to do 1.
So drills are broken up by zone 2 freestyle (which brings comfort between difficult drills)
Did some swimming with fists, some one arm swimming and lots of “breathe every 3” drills.
The Form goggles i wear are a godsend, especially with Training Peaks compatibility now, so i don’t have to remember complicated drill sets, it just tells me.
Only problem with Form goggles are the first lap, it records a time that is too short, something to do with when it includes the time
For the turn.
Anyway, the drills are not exhausting, but ARE uncomfortable (if they werent i wouldnt need them)
Still hate backstroke and breast stroke and i’m still skeptical that i need to include them in my training.
