Went to the pool today. Was supposed to be 500m timed session. But really couldn't face the whole timing lark when I know that I need to nail my technique. I know I always seem to be harping on about technique, but I feel there's no point building up the distance and speed if I am not executing properly.
So I did 550 metres today in sets of 50m, just trying to focus a different component of the stroke on each set. I did come away feeling that I was swimming better, but knowing that I have a lot of work to do! I really need to build up my endurance and I think this is more important than speed. It's better to finish slowly, than start quickly and then drown!
So, away with the stop watch for now and I will be building up the overall distance and the length of each set.
