LZ has been working with me on my swimming now for five weeks (four weeks swimming) and I haven't been showing much improvement. I really thought I would be a lot faster by now. I mean really how hard is it to get in shape? Am I always going to be so slow? Don't you think I would see some improvement by now?
I still can't do an hour workout in an hour. This saddens me. I want to be better, but I just can't seem to do it. Where is the improvement? Wheres the beef?
LZ is a really good trainer though. I know she knows I am struggling, but she just keeps plugging along. Yesterday she said that she would work more on the aerobic with me as I don't seem to be able to work myself as hard as I do with her.
She wants me to get my stroke rate down to 20, I did 23 for the first lap, then I ended up doing 30 for the rest. Big difference. Oh well.
I was going to go swimming today, but I didn't. Oh well.

I don't know what stroke rate means - I guess it means 20 strokes per minute with the strokes being more powerful.
ReplyDelete30 strokes would seem to be faster, but I guess more powerful is better.
25 is TSH's old football/track number, so that seems like a good goal for the interim.
Precor eliptical rates could increase, but hey - I don't know what's going on.
25-25-25 then 20-20-20 If Herman Cain gets the further in the election cycle, does this mean swimmers will go the German stroke rate of "9-9-9"?
Go T3
I think your perspective is off. Really.
