An attempt to track the ups and downs and ins and outs of a boys attempt at, at best, becoming a semi-elite (thats at best) long distance runner

swim.ming.

been a week and a half trying to swim properly now, and it's starting to get easier everyday. I hope the decent swimmers don't much care when i look at their strokes intently in order to work out what on earth they are doing that makes them glide through the water so easily.

monday noon - 4mile BIKE
monday pm - 40mile BIKE (4x hill repeats - macarthur up to Great Falls MD hill)
tuesday am - 60minute SWIM + 25mile BIKE

shin still tweaking a little bit so giving it lots of time off. planning a cheeky 6miles through town tonight after i get home from my 20mile bike ride home. planning on swimming a mile non-stop in the pool tomorrow morning - all freestyle. i make that 64 laps as the olympic pool is cut width ways. might do 70 just to make sure.

i wish i could run 29miles tomorrow morning, but i don't think my shin would hold up to it, which is a shame.
