Marginal Gains - that's the name of the game.

Swimming (2150M / 01:00:15)
Endurance Session

WU - 3x100 easy, every 4th length choice & stretch.
4x100 kick (Fins & kick boards - focus on a steady and deep kick) @30s recovery.
6x50 easy (focus on when & how to breathe to the wall) @20s recovery.
3x100 steady (no pull buoy - focus on breathing pattern of 3,4,5,3 and generating power from your WHOLE body) @20s recovery.
Main Set:
4x200 - (7 out of 10 pace) bring all lessons from previous drills together and keep core tight. 30s recovery between 200's.
2 easy lengths cool down

That is the furthest I have swam in a long time so I'm pretty pleased with myself.
I did concentrate on rotating the body and generating power and I even managed to breath to the left a bit better then before.
Every week I will look for little signs of improvement.

In the words of Team Sky Cycling - " Marginal Gains."
