Workout Wednesday: Lungs On Fire!
The Endurance Swimming team doing a tough workout.
Happy Workout Wednesday! This week we are working threshold, threshold, and more threshold. This is a quick 2000 yard/meter workout designed to push you to your limits. There is not much rest and you will be riding the red line the entire main set. If you are looking for a great workout for a quick lunch time freestyle swim session, then this is the one for you. Whether you are a swimmer or a triathlete, this workout will challenge you. Get ready for your lungs to be on fire for the next 30 to 45 minutes! As always have fun, share with your friends and leave your thoughts in the comments!
