Training last week was pretty sparse, thanks to that half ironman I had to recover from. I was feeling more or less OK by Wednesday, and
was excited to get back to swimming because the Chesapeake Bay swim is in 5.5
weeks.
Ohhhhhhhhhh…..yeah…4.4 miles of swimming, I guess I
should train for that?
My coach promises me several 90-120 minute swims on my
schedule for the next month. I can’t wait.
Monday: 2800 meters of very easy recovery swimming.
Tuesday: Rest day.
Wednesday: 5 miles of easy running with no watch. My legs
felt a little tired, but not terrible.
Thursday: 4500 yards of swimming with DCRP Masters in the
evening. Some of this was at faster paces (1:15-1:17/100 yards), but a good
deal of it was easier per the workout instructions.
Friday: An hour of easy (144W) spinning on the bike
trainer.
Saturday: 8.89 miles of running (9:02 pace) on Beach
Drive early in the morning.
Sunday: Rest day (yes, again. 70.3 miles is far.)
You definitely earned a recovery week! Also, I can't fathom swimming 4.4 miles. I know you'll kill it, though. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, for a second I thought THIS was your recovery week and I was thinking....what?!?! ;)
ReplyDeleteOH, but it was...
Delete4.4 mile swim is awesome! No way would I be able to finish that!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of swimming 4.4 miles is just unfathomable to me, but if anyone can do it, you can. I also love your idea of a 'recovery' week ;)

90 mins of swimming. You are the bomb. If VA Beach hosts another 5k swim you should down and do that...it's normally in late August.
ReplyDeleteNice to have an easy week. 4 miles of swimming, whew!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are taking some rest days! I've done several 90-120 minute swims. Of course, when you are as slow as me that's how long it takes to do normal distances.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve a rest! Although I'm not sure 4500 yards swimming is rest - at least it wouldn't be for me!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog and find most of your post's to be exactly I'm
