Swam 5 laps breast stroke, then 1 length fast crawl, rest 1 minute x 4, total about 15 minutes
hot shower, cold rinse, quick sauna, steam, cold rinse
I am getting seriously strung out about this translation, so I took a short break. I feel much better as a result. The crawl session was an attempt to apply Tabata or periodic training to swimming, not really because I want to be a fast swimmer, although now that I think about it, why not, but for general metabolic conditioning. It was surprisingly fun. A length of fast crawl knocks the wind out of me, but a minute is long enough for a good recovery, and I would have done a couple more lengths if the translation hadn't been on my brain.
I have fallen off of the running wagon, and I need to get back on. I particularly miss the sprints, although I've also been wanting to do another long run with a focus on midfoot landing. The problem is that mornings are monster time and I'll be working until late for the foreseeable future.
