YOU HAVE TWO WORKOUTS TODAY. FOR WORKOUT 1, DO A 35-MINUTE OVERDISTANCE (OD) SWIM AT LEVEL 1 INTENSITY (60-70% of MHR): Focus on having good technique. Rent a video of the Olympics, check out the swimmers, and use these images to practice visualization. Pretend that you're in the Olympics and about to set a world record in the 1500-meter freestyle. The commentator keeps reflecting on how relaxed and easy you are making this incredible swim appear. FOR WORKOUT 2, DO A 50-MINUTE OD RUN AT LEVEL 1 INTENSITY: Do this run on a loop that you used to run. Check your speed compared to a few weeks ago -- you should be getting faster at the same HR.
