Friday lunch swim

2000yds

4X500 @9:00 decending

(8:25,8:10,8:05,7:55)



I haven't done 500's in quite a while, I was surprised at how quick I was at them.



I did some reading on Gordo's site about bilateral breathing and brought up my effort so that I needed to breath more than every third stroke. I grabbed a couple extra breaths per length by taking 2 on the left then 2 on the right when I needed them. I think the last time I did 4X500 I was in the high 8 min range so this was a pleasant surprise.



Looks like the extra time and intensity in the pool is working for me.
