The swim this morning wasn't much better than on Monday. I'm still thrashing about and getting gapped by my teammates in lane 3 (lane 1 being the slowest, 5 the fastest). It's simply a matter of me increasing my swimming stamina so that my technique/form doesn't breakdown 3/4 of the way through the workout. Once my form goes, so does my speed.
Total distance: 3,000 yards
Wednesday's run is normally speed work, but Coach Berlinger smartly decided to postpone speed work until next Wednesday after we've had a week and a half of practices under our belts. Instead, we were instructed to run 5 miles on the indoor track and/or the treadmills. I stayed on the track in order to work on mental toughness - the track doesn't keep the pace for you like a treadmill does. The first mile was a warm up at 8:00/mile pace, followed by three miles at a 7:15/mile pace, followed by a final mile at a 8:00/mile pace to cool down.
