1st Dec - Swim

Swim training wiht SLH.

900m Drill work

10* 100m, the idea being swim 100m and rest all within 2 minutes, but as can be seen from the times this did not really work out! The times include drafting on some of the splits

100m - 1.39 mins Rest - 0.17 mins
100m - 1.45 mins Rest - 0.15 mins
100m - 1.48 mins Rest - 0.08 mins
100m - 1.55 mins Rest - 0.22 mins
100m - 1.50 mins Rest - 0.15 mins
100m - 1.52 mins Rest - 0.13 mins
100m - 1.49 mins Rest - 0.16 mins
100m - 1.53 mins Rest - 0.23 mins
100m - 1.53 mins Rest - 0.22 mins
100m - 1.49 mins

Total Time (inc Rest) - 20.45 mins

This was by far the hardest session I have ever done, the recovery time was the main issue.

Haven't actually done 1500m since starting at SLH so was interested to see how it went. Took things fairly easy, probably around 80% effort (weights session yesterday is my excuse). Splits as follows:

200m - 4.24 mins
200m - 4.32 mins
200m - 4.27 mins
200m - 4.29 mins
