Happy 2013! I am taking a 1-week “sabbatical” to assess my weekly pattern of workouts; expect regular posts to resume Friday, January 11th. The following objectives will remain unchanged:
- 2500-3000 each day
- 5 days/week
- 1 distance/pace practice
- 1 mid-distance/pace practice
- 1 individual medley practice
- publish Friday afternoons
I am looking at altering the remaining 2 practices. Here are my current thoughts:
- rotate through each stroke and provide technique pointers, drills, and skills
- present workouts from various coaches that I have worked with, heard speak, or read their ideas
- introduce strategies and preparations for different races
- examine a variety of technique and training fads
Your comments are encouraged and will be appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you!
Workouts off the beaten path 
I love your workouts as they fit my needs perfectly. I only swim 3 days a week and usually do the distance workout on Monday, mid-distance on Wed, and either the IM or stroke workout on Friday. Alternating in the other topics you suggested would be helpful for me even if I don’t regularly do those workouts – I appreciate having the option.
I love your workouts and look forward to doing them each week! I used to do all freestyle but now do it all due to your drills and great explanations of how to do them. Would it be okay if I linked your workouts to my Indiana GRIN SWim webpage? I know lots of swimmers who would love to receive your workouts.
Thanks for all you do and Happy New Year,
Robin
Definitely. Thanks, Robin!
