Tuesday: Master swim, but no formal program this week, which was good, as it gave me a chance to work on swim mechanics. Trying to glide longer, and get arm forward before I begin pulling back with other arm.
I thought about holding off on the return until the other arm breaks the water. but later when I talked to Heather she said that was too early for me to use as a trigger. She feared that I would start pulling back to quick if I use that. She stressed trying to swim like I did in the catch up drill.
Bodyshaping: 10:30 to 11:30; usual drills;
Running: Used treadmill after bodyshaping, ran for 30 minutes, had two five minute intervals where I built the speed from 10 minute mile to 7:40 mile; leg felt okay; after running I did rolling and other stretches;
Wednesday: CT workout; 75 minutes; avg hr 122; max: 155; avg watts: 170; intensity workout;
Thursday: swam 60 minutes - again worked on catchup drill; Craig has stressed that I need to think lightness and gliding; not working so hard; I tried to keep arm forward longer and was aware when I started to bring it back too quickly or if it started to drop in the water. I think I'm starting to understand what I need to do - just am not able to do it comfortably yet. But I'm encouraged.
Craig called today to check on me. I told him my leg was feeling better and he will gradually work my run workouts up to longer intervals, but no hurry.
