I swim/train with more intensity if I feel that I am swimming for something. So I decided to make monthly goals that I am going to try and achieve. Anyone else that wants to post their monthly goals here or just goals in general feel welcomed. At the end of the month I will let you know if I achieved my goals or how close I came. I came up with 3 goals for this month.
1. Break 12 seconds in 25yd SDK from backstroke start
2. Break 54 seconds in 100yd IM
3.Break 10 seconds in 25yd Free
All these goals I am going to try and break at practice. I can break all three when I am tapered but would like to try and do it when I am broken down and in a practice environment.
Wasn't bashing your goal concept. Goals can be good. I was just pointing out that if you were timing yourself for a 25 the degree of accuracy by chance can provide you with either a really fast goal achieving time, or something terrible both for the same swim. But since you mentioned your coach does the timing for you, it depends on her caffeine blood levels.
