THURSDAY AND FRIDAY (May 26 and May 27)

Thursday
Pro Swim (5300 yards)
Another great swim workout.  This may have been the best work I have done in the pool in the last 5 years!  The main set was a long one, 3000 yards.  It was a pyramid set with the following:
100, 200, 300, 400, 500 on the 1:15; and 500, 400, 300, 200, 100 on the 1:10.  I made all the intervals and felt tired but great at the end of the swim. 

I ended Thursday with my first track workout in over a month.  It was a tough one but went well.  The workout called for 6 X 1000 with a 400 jog in between each.  I hit my target times (3:07 for each 1K) and was very happy to be back running again.    

After the two solid workouts Friday was an easy day of running and swimming (and lots of work).

Below is an interesting video about head position while swimming.  Over the past few weeks I have focused on this aspect of my swim stroke.
