Not quite a fish...

So today was a swim/bike day.

Swim session:
500 easy mix warmup

mainset: 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100 (300 -100 should be faster, so do the first have at a medium pace, maybe 2:10/100m?) 200m pull,

100 long and loose cool down

Total distance 2550 meters

The descending is always a struggle for me as I still get tired in the pool. My stroke gets longer and stronger every day though :) Did the 300 - 100 at 10' faster per set and added an all out 50m at the end. Felt remarkably good.


Strength bike session(75minutes)

warm up is 25mintues with 6x1minute high cadence, 1minute @90rpm.

Mainset is 2x20mins with 5' between @ 50-55rpm. This will be challenging like your climbing a
hill for 20minutes.

Cooldown til 75

This was very hard but extremely rewarding. I have not done this long of a strength session before and was happy with how I did. Resistance started at 19 (ambitious) and dropped to 17 after 7 minutes but I stayed consistent and am finding this is key.

Let us ask you something.
And tell us the truth.
There's only one person
who will know if you don't
finish today, isn't there?
The same person who knows
you finished yesterday.

Thank you,
