No big advancements except that I was able to do one of my swimming drills today. I was unable to do the zipper drill which simulates the recovery portion of the freestyle stroke but today I did it. I did some behind the back stretches and gave it a try and was successful.
Another 200+ miles on Zwift again this week with just about all of it as easy riding. I tried some longer Z3 intervals yesterday and found them more difficult than I thought they'd be so instead of the 45/45's I'm going to start with 10 min Z3 intervals and work them up to threshold. I'm planning 3 weeks of this but may cut it to two if I think my improvement is stagnating. This won't drive the heartrate like VO2max stuff will but my performance right now indicates it's what I need.
Weight has been mostly in the 151's, up and down a little but averaging right there.
Home therapy is going OK. I get sore doing internal shoulder rotations with weights so I'm staying easy with it. I've taken some Ibuprofen for it a few times but not my normal large dose, just 400mg once or twice a day.
