Breaking the Ice

Tuesday 25th October 2011

Swimming
1600M - 00:47:39 in 18M pool at Gym

Warm up 200M (WU 200)
8 X 50 M Drills (Kick only / Swim fist / Doggy Paddle / Arms only) (8X50 Drill)
2 X 250M with 30 secs rest between intervals (2X2500@20secs)
8 X 50 M Drills
100M cool down (100M CD)
Total 1600M
Early swim before work this morning and the pool was freezing cold.  How can it be cold - it's not like they just turn on the heat in the morning for it - or do they? Anyway it was "stimulating" getting in to it but I warmed up fairly quickly.
Really started to feel things coming together at the end of this session today - although I am really beginning to hate the leg drills - they are such hard work.

Running
00:30:00 - 3.05 Miles (00:09:41) per mile / HR 148bpm Z2 82% Max)


This run felt really easy.  HR was a little elevated for the first mile, but I am beginning to think that this is just it getting up to speed, and then it drops back below 80% after about 1 mile.  i felt like I was able to get a bit quicker and stay in zone tonight.  Don't get me wrong it is still SLOW at 9.41 per mile - but a slight improvement.
