This morning I took it slightly easier on the trainer. I cut the main set in half. This is supposed to be a cut back week, trying to keep up the intensity just cutting back on the length of the workout. This morning’s trainer workout was:
Warm-Up
5 minutes easy building cadence above 90 RPMs
5 x 30 seconds standing/30 seconds seated.
6 x 1 min right leg/1 min left leg
Main Set
3 x 2 minutes in Big Chainring @ 65-75 RPMs in HRZ 1 with 1 minute recovery.
3 x 3 minutes in Big Chainring @ 65-75 RPMS in HRZ 2 with 1 minute recovery
Cool-Down
5 minutes easy letting heart rate return to normal.
I followed that up with a 1.4 mile run. The only real purpose behind the run was to keep my running streak going with the mile-a-day challenge. Day 10 complete.
Workout#2
I did 1500 meters in the pool today where the main focus was on my breathing. I varied when I would breathe based on the number of strokes from 3 – 7. Here is the workout:
W/U: 200 meters with PB
Main Set:
2x through
2 x 50 breathe every 3 strokes with 30 sr
2 x 50 breathe every 6 strokes with 45 sr
2 x 50 breathe every 4 strokes with 35 sr
2 x 50 breathe every 5 strokes with 40 sr
2 x 50 breathe every 3 strokes with 30 sr
2 x 50 breathe every 7 strokes with 30 sr
C/D: 100 meters
Here are my 50 meter times, not that I was seeing how fast I could go. I just wanted to try and swim consistently.
Strokes | Set 1 | Set 2 | ||
3 | 54.36 | 51.90 | 52.08 | 51.27 |
6 | 51.02 | 49.75 | 50.55 | 50.15 |
