Week Eleven - Mark loses his board shorts
20 March 2018Mark has a Question. Read through his update for Week Eleven and get in touch if you know the answer. PS, I also got him in front of the camera but we got photo bombed by cicada's and a nice sea breeze down at mission bay so sorry about the sound quality! After all the effort it took I had to use it!

Just an easy row tonight after the weekends effort. Usually my average heart rate is between 125 and 135 BPM, tonight my average rate was 109 BPM.

Today was my first session with a swim coach. I would like say thanks to Andrew from Boost Coaching for his time and advice.
So the first advice is to lose the board shorts. This is going to be a worry as we don’t want any further people going blind.
The remaining advice regards to my stroke. When I master this new technique I could improve my time as much as 20%. Look out fish, there could be a new breed entering the waters.

Swim 60 x 50m (3000km)
Question for the experts. When I swim I don’t use my legs. So, why at the end of each swim my legs feel like they have just completed a marathon run?

Body is screaming out for a rest. So, a day off to recover a little.
