Swimming: 8 x 2 min intervals @ 55 - 4/20

Continuing on the interval training for swimming. The overall workout time may be less than going for 30 minutes straight - but breaking up the workout into segments certainly makes it more interesting.

After a 5 minute warmup, I did a series of 2 minute intervals at a power setting of 55. After a few of these, I reduced the power a little to around 45. I was still only a day or two out of finally feeling above 90%, after being sick for a week, so I wanted to put in a couple rest intervals in.

Warm up (40) - 04:56 Avg HR: 125
Interval 1 - 02:01 Avg HR: 129 End HR: 156
Interval 2 - 02:00 Avg HR: 139 End HR: 157
Interval 3 - 02:00 Avg HR: 138 End HR: 141
Interval 4 - 01:59 Avg HR: 147 End HR: 166
Interval 5 - 02:00 Avg HR: 149 End HR: 158
Interval 6 - 01:57 Avg HR: 136 End HR: 136
Interval 7 - 02:00 Avg HR: 149 End HR: 169
Interval 8 - 02:00 Avg HR: 154 End HR: 169
