More aerobic maintenance today, however we do have a more anaerobic threshold set today.  Toward the end of practice we do some breaststroke, first some paddled power swims, followed by some 25's sprint breaststroke kick.  #swimming #enduranceswimming #breaststroke #aerobicmaintenance #aerobicswimming

We are in an aerobic maintenance phase of our training cycle, so we do have a relatively large volume, however we have a recurring sprint kick set as part of our practice, so there is some spiked intensity.  #swimming #aerobicmaintenance #aerobicswimming #sprintkick
