Today was a memorable one. I swam again for the first time in a long time. Ironic part is that I have no idea how to program a swim workout for myself. After all those years swimming, I just did what I was told and have no idea why or how to design my own.
I wanted to do something pretty close to steady state for 60 min. but what ended up happening was at best a fartlek style swim. I warmed up with about 50 yards, which in the world of swimming is not even close to a warm up. Then I decided to swim some 50's. I did about 10x 50's on the 45. I ended up resting about 10 seconds and had to get back on my horse. I was totally spent, arms anyway. Then I decided to do a couple 400's...haha, no chance. I swam one and can only imagine how long that took. Some stroke drills, some kick drills, some easy IM stuff, fly down, breast back, just random BS in the pool. After about an hour of this useless floating and splashing I got out. I forgot how it feels to be in the water and what that insasiable hunger is like aftwarwards. Gotta be careful with that!
Then, later:
Power-Endurance:
Deadlift 10x at 115%BW
Row 500m
4 Rounds for time
I finished in 10:50
I assumed my body weight was about 200lbs so I threw on 230 for a go. I ended up doing the deadlifts non-stop and rowing at 1:51 slip. It felt pretty good, but in terms of strength-to-weight ratios I have a long road. I might name this one and revisit it, it seems like a good test.
