Might be on to something...

OK, I will have to give the stupid Coach some credit on this one. This swim session went much better than the past few.

Workout was
w/u 8x50 easy
b/u 4x100 (kick 4th)
mset 3x400 5:15
8x100 1:18

c/d 2x (1x50 push and glide,
1x50 front crawl easy)

on first 400, I got 250m in before I needed a breather. Then I did a 400, on 7:30. so yeah, I got one done.

then I did 2x100 on 1:30 pace.

Now, the last few workouts, I have been done after 100m, and the last 25m felt hard. on the 100s tonight, I cranked it up for the last 25m.

Stupid Coach might be onto something here.

Recovery is important.
