Thanks so much for this workout. I tried to do it one morning last week, but did not have the notes with me and forgot a large part of it. This morning I was sure to take it with me to the pool and truly enjoyed the workout. Since I don't/can't do all of the swim strokes (fly, fast back), I need workouts like this that can fit my level. If you have more, please do post again.
It is difficult for me to determine my max swim heartrate, so I am basically going by "feel" and/or "the best I can do" (as for the 90%). I too am returning to swim after a rather long break from it, and appreciate any help from this fantastic, knowlegeable group.
I have seen reference in several posts about the Total Immersion book. I know there are workshops and perhaps classes, and am curious if just the book is a great help, or if it needs to be a companion to a class or workshop.
Thanks again (one week to my first triathlon:eek: )
