Yesterday I skipped the 45 minute run, as I've had some lingering soreness in the tendon below my right knee cap. It's gotten noticably better each day, but knowing I have a 5k race on Thursday, and that I did two tempo runs last week plus the mile repeat workout on Sunday - I decided I'd take the day off, rest up and get recovered.
So the past couple days I've gone to the endless pool to work on my swimming form. Initially, I'm just interested in making the changes (keeping head down for balance, waiting a little bit longer before starting the pull, rolling to generate pull power) feel more natural.
After a couple days, I feel like I've made some good progress, although I still have a ways to go. I've found that my breathing from the left side is getting slightly easier, and that I almost don't have to think about my pull timing. I do still have to remember to keep my head down sometimes, though - and the timing of my roll with the pull is still a little off sometimes.
