So here it is:
Swim Session 2 – Summary – 3450m – 64:34 minutes.
Ave HR: 155, Max HR: 174, Min HR: 89. Calories: 782.
4 x 100m FC / BC : 1:34, 1:59, 1:39, 2:03 (rests: 10, 4, 5, 48).
750m FC steady : 12:29 minutes, HR 156 (rest: 1:22)
750m FC fast arms, steady kick : 12:10 minutes, HR 166 (rest: 1:05)
750m FC pull (arns only) : 12:29 minutes, HR 154 (rest: 49)
800 various : 16:00 minutes.
(4 x 200m: 50 kick, 50 one arm, 50 DPS, 50 3/5/7/3)
Interstingly – when I did FC steady, I did it in exactly the same time as arms only – suggesting my pull stroke can be as efficient as my steady FC stroke.
But – unfortunately for me – tonight confirmed that if I want to go faster, I need to concentrate on moving my arms faster and swimming faster overall. It’s hard work, but means I can aim for around about 12 minutes (720 secs) for 750m – if I try really hard. My Heart Rate was 166 when I was swimming the fast 750m – 87% of my max heart rate – so I was working pretty hard.
After the swim, I went out for a 6k run. Did it in 31:40. 5k time would have been 26:31, but I was ok with that as my legs were a little tight after the swim.
SWIM: 2.14M / 3450m, 64:34 mins, 782 calories.
RUN: 6k, 31:40 mins, 400 calories.
Total almost 1200 calories.
I was starving when I got in so had chicken, peas n rice. Yum!! Not sure if I’m going to do the cycle tomorrow morning… it’s going to be pouring so I might leave it to later in the week – or do a hard gym session on the bike tomorrow night.
