Swim 3/8
I swam 1500 yards in 37 minutes. I am going to try bumping up to swimming twice a week, around 1500 yards each time, and see how that goes. Scheduling my swim is tough as the convenient pool is only open during the week.
My sets were 7x200 and 1x100. It takes me a little over 4 minutes for 200 yards - between 4:05 and 4:20 - so what I do is start each 200 on the 5 minutes, and then rest afterwards, until the next 5 minutes. The great side effect of this is it makes it very easy to keep track of how many yards I swim.
Just as a check, if I kept the 1500 yards/37 minutes pace, I'd finish the IM swim in about 1:45. Great news, because that pace includes a fair amount of resting. :) So I'm on track, I just need to build up the yardage.
