27.01.09: As you can see by the dates lost a week in terms of diary however training went well last week particularly on Friday(23rd Jan) when i had a coaching session with Lesley and although was feeling a bit jaded accomplished a good level of endurance training on the super sets that i did. Started with 15 lengths to be swam under 5 mins, followed by 2 sets of 8 each with a 15 second gap between them. Then i get a 10 second gap between swimming 4 x sets of 4 lengths and finally finish with 8 sets of 2 lengths each with a 5 second gap between them. This had been preceeded with a 20 lengths warm up and an 8 lengths warm down all done under an hour. The idea is to increase cardio strength and speed of recovery for greater endurance.

Today i will probably do between 120 and 140 lengths but i will check in later today or tomorrow to confirm.

Am starting to be aware that i am continuing to lose weight and maybe need to concentrate on what my calorie intake is. Want to have a good intake to be assured that i have the right amount of fuel to burn up for the distance.
