THERE ARE EIGHT MORE WEEKS UNTIL YOUR NEXT HALF-IRONMAN TRIATHLON!



This week is a recovery week: time to rest and let all the good hard training absorb into your body. Your total workout time this week will be:

Age Group: 7 hours;

Elite: 8 hours;

Pro: 9 hours.



TODAY'S WORKOUT:

SWIM: Distance Freestyle.

Set 1:

400 freestyle: loosen! Use minimum strokes per length.

400 free: do the 1st 10 strokes off the wall at top speed.

400 free: do each 100 faster than the previous one.



Make sure to start comfortably. Rest 30"-45" between 400's.



Set 2:

900 free: each 300 gets faster. It must feel like you are putting more effort into each 300. Rest 60"-90" between 300s.

9 x 50 free: 1-3 = moderate intensity; 4-6 = moderate to hard intensity; 7-9: hard intensity. Rest 15" after each 50.
