BEST "Animal Kick Set" to date!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Thursday at: 9:22pm (August 26th, 2010)

I'm really feeling like I'm back in my groove :)
 
I decided to do an old fashoned "Animal Kick" which is composed of
10x100's Kick @ 1:30

To date, my best set was November 25th 2009 when I clocked an unexpected 1:13.2 average for all ten swims.  Today, I'm proud to say that I'm probably in the best kicking shape OF MY LIFE!  I demolished my previous personal best by 0.1 seconds with a personally impressive 1:13.1 average!

1:08 (Holding Back)

1:14 (Nothing Left)
 
Although not a huge time drop, it represents to me that I'm making progress.  I feel great and I'm training well.  I'm beginning to do the things that worked really well for me in 2007.  A 500-600 warmup, isolate legs, isolate arms, full body set.  A total of 3,000-4,000 yards/meters.

WORKOUT:

600y Free/Back
6 x 100y @ 1:40 kick w/board
10 x 100y @ 1:30 paddle pull
400y swim
10 x 100y Animal Kick @ 1:30
200 cool down
