Swimming Intervals

Afternoon

WU: 5 laps easy

Workout: 5 X 350y with 2 minutes rest
6:45, 6:45, 7:06

Total distance: 26 laps (1300y)

Workout comments: Longer high intensity intervals continue to be my weakest link. I can only seem to maintain about 3-4 laps of quality form (at least my own interpretation) before I start to feel my muscles failing. I've been having difficulty breathing on both sides and noticed that bilateral breathing causes more faults in my form. Unilateral breathing helps cut out extra body movements and allows me to focus more on consistency. However, I know that breathing every stroke is causing extra drag through the water. Hopefully endurance will start to appear soon.
