I hit the pool yesterday after another 3-4 day hiatus from training and I did it! I pushed through and over the 1km mark all the way to 1200 meters...and I felt like I could have kept going! :)
I did a really basic set:
4 x 100 meters warm-up
3 x 200 meters main set
2 x 100 meters cool-down
What was great was the feeling of ease. I am really loving swimming. I am also day-dreaming about pushing to 1400, 1600, 1800 and all the way back to 2km within the next week.
Of course, about a couple of hours later, it hit me! Boom...and I was tired...but good tired. I forget, probably because it is so low impact, how much effort/work swimming is. But I so thrilled that I am now doing 200 meter sets and want to up it to 300 meter and 400 meter and 500 metere UNTIL I am swimming non-stop for 2km....then I will know I am ready for a race!
Today's training set is all cardio:
running
eliptical
rowing
more running
OY!!!!
