Solid 60 minutes in the pool this afternoon. Pretty serious 30 straight minutes of swimming. I am alternating 3 stroke, 4 stroke and 5 stroke breathing techniques to see which is most efficient and most comfortable. The five stroke series raises my heart rate and puts pressure on my aerobic system, which I think is a good thing. I’m hoping that will help me become stronger both in the water, on the bike and at the 5k.
Next I ran in the deep end for 30 minutes interspersing five x 75 /50/25 stride segments. That combination of work usually gets me pretty fatigued.
Stats –
Weight = #155
Sleep = 7 hours
Foot indexes are still low to moderate. But surely they spike whenever I run faster. I have begun to golf ball roll, stretch and do the foot exercises.
HR 5 hrs after workout at 11pm = 62 bpm
