Enjoying the relaxed workout pace

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 3:47am (July 22nd, 2008)
I had a very full day of work and it I was relieved to have a relaxed workout pace. I took a nap after working, hopped in the car, drove to the pool which I park about a 1/2 mile away from, quickly stretched and sprinted to the pool. I did some weights (mostly arms), did a warmup swim and did a solid kick set mixing up free/fly kick 100's LCM on the 2:00. I warmed down and walked back to my car while enjoying the great sunset. I decided to get a potbelly sandwich and spend some time reading at Borders. I read a well written (although outdated) article about Phelps and Lochte regarding the 200 IM rivalry. I read up on some dryland workouts and took some notes. The article I read was downplaying the importance of aerobic workouts, promoting more strength and burst speed workouts. I can't say I agree... everybody has a workout theory they know is right. I did enjoy reading about some abstract dryland drills, I like coaching myself! I'll try some of the workouts tomorrow.
