4/1 - 4/7

Sun 4/1
- Swim #4
8 x 75 meter swims
resting 30 seconds between 75s

I went to the pool without really having a plan on what to do. I started off trying to do some of the Total Immersion drills, then doing some laps in the middle. I tried to do a 75 meter swim a couple times, but stopped early (before even 50m). I ended on a full 50m, and swam for about 16 minutes total.

I think I am going to just try to do the 75s Tuesday and forget about Total Immersion for now. The problem is that TI wants you to swim with as little effort as possible, but right now, I think I should be doing laps and thrashing around working hard so I will get in shape. TI makes a lot of sense, but I think for right now I'm going to just beat myself up with my current technique (working on breathing a bit though).

Mon 4/2
- Combo:
(Run :05 / Walk :01) x 3
Bike :30

Ran on the treadmill at the gym... yay for more variables to control. I ran on 0 incline, 5 minutes at 5 mph, then 1 minute at 2.5 mph, 5 at 5 mph, 1 at 2.5, then 5 at 6mph, and 1 at 2.5. Then I rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes on low tension. The run was work, I took it pretty easy on the bike.

Tue 4/3
- Swim #4
8 x 75 meter swims
resting 30 seconds between 75s

Did this after a little bit of warmup. I did only 2 25meter lengths of my weak backstroke (in the first leg of the 3rd and 6th 75s). Took about 19 minutes for the 75s, 25 minutes total with the warmup and cooldown (floating like an amorphous blob).

Wed 4/4
- Combo:
Run :15
Bike :30

Went to the gym and did this on the machines again. I ran at 5.5 mph, then rode the bike on a bit of tension. I was pretty tired after the run, and worse toward the end of the bike (was hard to keep going), but I made it.

Thu 4/5

Rode the exercise bike at home for 30 after Fox was in bed.
