Running and Swimming workouts for Thursday and Friday 5/21 and 5/22

Hello dear readers!

Had a great last few days of training. I think my new regimen from Kevin (my coach) has really started to pay off.

Thursday's Run

This was a 6 mile run with my pace alternating between 10 min/mile and 9 min/mile. I was feeling really good so I decided to run it faster but with the minute difference per mile still applying. This is what I ended up doing (all times are in min/mile):

Mile 1: 9:44
Mile 2: 8:42
Mile 3: 9:32
Mile 4: 8:25
Mile 5: 9:30
Mile 6: 8:14

Note that with each odd mile I kept accelerating. Very pleased with this!

Friday's Swim

Today was another 3000 meter swim (almost 2 miles). Felt really good and finished in about 59 minutes. That's almost race pace! This is the breakdown:

Warm Up: 5 x 50 as: 2 free/ 3drill / 2 free/ 3drill on 10 sec. rest
Main Set: easy, aerobic – 3 x 200 free on 20 sec. rest, 600 on 1 min rest, 4 x 150 free on 15 sec. rest, 350 on 1 min rest, 3 x 100 on 10 sec. rest, 400 on 1 min rest.
Cool Down: 4 x 50 drill on 15 sec. rest

Have a looong training weekend ahead of me, I'll blog about it over the weekend.

Everyone have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. If you know or see a serviceman or woman, please tell them how much you appreciate all they do for your country.

Tri your best!

Bill
