RUN 6.6 miles in about 58 mins?
SWIM 3000y in 70 mins, 1000 loco (20:42) and a timed 100 from rest (1:53)
This cold sh*t is really wearing on me. When I finished the run today I rushed into the VC to warm up, for what little it did or didn't help. We had a new runner today from the West coast, hope we didn't scare her off :) Today was supposed to be 4x1 mile at 7:30, that's a workout I should really make up for this weekend. Especially since I'm on the verge of registering for a half marathon in a few weeks.
At the pool I had a long workout: WU of 800, choice on 4th length. MS of 1000 loco and 6x(100fast, 50easy). CD of 6x50. I LOVE LOCOS!!
The most recent loco was Feb 17th and I did that in 20:55 for about a 2:05 pace. Today was 20:42 for a 2:04 pace! It's probably not significant...but I'll take it. Then I did a timed 100 from rest in 1:53. It wasn't a sprint effort, but I probably couldn't have gone too much faster.
NK was a few lanes over, she makes it look so easy. Just gliding through the water...where in contrast I'm a mess. Especially as the sets get longer and longer. I did capture the halfway time in the loco at 10:14, so that means I averaged 2:03 for the first half of the loco and 2:06 for the second half. I think that's the more relevant observation: my times fall off as the sets go long. This isn't news to me -- I've been reviewing my February numbers in my fancy new spreadsheet and I can clearly see that longer sets, even from 50 to 100 to 200, suffer as the distance increases.
I know it's my form. I don't know how to fix it on my own. So I'm looking forward to the Monday Evolve swims that start next week. Soon I'll be gliding along like NK....don't I WISH.
