Day 24 - I mixed up my workout today. I did a brief warmup, then a workout I got from Triathlete magazine. 4x50yds as hard as I can with 10 seconds rest, then 1x100yds as hard as I can with about a minute cooldown. The 400 yards, starting with 100 at the prior pace + 12-15 seconds with the other 300 being much easier. I did the 4x50yards in an average of 53 seconds each and then did the 100yards in 1:45... which frankly really surprised me.
This was only 700 yards so I did a set of drills for 400 yards and a 100 yard cooldown to get me up to 1200 yards.
Day 25 - 200 warmup, 2 sets of 4x50yd drills (fingertip, one arm, fist, one arm), then 8x50 swim 4x25 fast and 100 yard cool down for 1200 total.
I usually watch the time on my fast 4x25's and I've gotten them down to 21 seconds each, which is pretty cool.
I also counted my strokes, now that I'm being more conscious of keeping an arm in the recovery position and gliding more I'm averaging 10 strokes per 25yards. Before I was doing 13-14 and it's still in the same amount of time per lap. See, I'm learning!
