Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone! Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to the pool for my 60 minute workout Christmas Eve, and I didn't workout Friday on Christmas day. But, I did however, make it to the pool today, for a good, hard 60 minute swim workout for a total of 1,950 yards including warm-up and cool down. On our way to the pool, Christine and I had a discussion about training intensity. It's important to have intensity in your workouts if you want to reach the next level, but how much intensity is the right amount without hurting the body.
The last three weeks, I've been following the Level 2 swim training program that TNT provided, and while it was tough, I thought I would strive for the Level 3 program. It's a reach, but I figure, it will help me get to the next level quicker. I just need to make sure I don't kill myself before the race :)
