Swimming with the Masters this morning

Posted by Glenn Mills on May 01, 2009 10:22AM (5,535 views)

My friends (ABC, the Annapolis Breakfast Club) who swim in the same pool each morning have a standard Friday morning practice. Depending on how you approach it, it can either be easy or hard. We did their practice, and the goal was to go at a fairly high intensity through the entire practice. The intervals are fairly easy, so the pace needed to be held high through each swim. While it gives you good rest, it also becomes very tiresome by the end.

Main Set

• 2 x 200 on 2:50

juan	Responded May 03, 2009 02:32PM Mil disculpas por hacer comentarios en español pero mi ingles es malo asi que agradesco me acepten en español.
Glenn Mills	Responded May 05, 2009 02:56PM Estoy usando un traductor, espero que funcione. No se preocupe por los intervalos demasiado rápido, se puede ajustar para que se ajusten a sus necesidades personales.

isobel	Responded May 06, 2009 04:58AM I like your comments, Juan. I am learning Spanish. Let's see if I can translate without any dictionary. First comment: This is very interesting and a little fast, but not too fast; it's good. Second comment: Sorry for making comments in Spanish, but my English is so bad that I thank you for accepting them in Spanish. Glenn's response: I am using an automated translator; I hope that it works. Don't worry if the intervals are too fast; you can adjust them as you need to. Juan's last comment: Thanks for the help, thanks lots! (I won't do this again unless it is useful to anyone...)

Zsofia Agnes Nagy	Responded May 09, 2009 07:20PM Isobel....if possible, and can help you with your spanish, it was a great help to me to see it translated...unfortunately I do not speak Spanish, but I can see, that I'll need to learn it very soon :-)....on the other hand I can look up the words in a dictionary and figure out.....it is not that hard, just requires a little more attention. ...the set is very good....I hope, I can try it on Saturday next wk! thanks for it!
isobel	Responded May 10, 2009 09:34PM Will do my best until someone tells me not to. I have seen other comments from Juan; I'll go look for them. Keep in mind I am learning, not proficient!
