Surf Fitness & Nutrition

[speelyei]

I dont know if it matters, but water solubility is a factor I like in my food.

when I eat at my folks house, you might as well try and wash silicone caulking off the plates. Its good eatin, but I know that stuff's not breakin down in my system. They have their hot-water heater set negligently high, and it doesnt even come close to melting off the gravy.

As I was washing the dishes tonight, i wased pleased to see that regular old hot water effortlessly melted away everything we cooked and ate.

Yoga today to the tune of Elvis.........every day, every day, every day I write the book....


And......just because it's been a frustrating couple of days at work......I'm going to gloat:

For anyone that knows yoga poses...... I've been practicing Scorpion. Today........I got the tips of my toes to touch the back of my head.

I'm sure Gaz appreciates your efforts in flexibility management.

What do you call it when the coffee cup and hot coffee touch your balls?
Sooloo is still trying to come up with a name for it.

Lotta rips out there lately. Witnessed more than a few "volunteers"...(in the past couple of weeks).... being sucked out to sea.

Soooooo..........here's one that will at least put some paddle endurance under your belt.


25 yard pool

400 swim
400 kick
400 pull

6 x 150 @ 2:30 [100 swim (free) - mod / 50 kick - fast]

6 x 150 @ 2:30 [50 stroke (IM order) / 100 swim (free)]

6 x 150 pull @ 2:30

100 EZ
______________

total = 4000 yards


Caveat: .....all workouts (that I post) are field tested by yours truly during my lunch hour. I don't expect most of you to churn out 4000 yards in an hour. But if you're at least getting in the water/pool & getting some water time.......excellent! Also.....in no way am I saying that doing these workouts will keep you from getting caught in a rip. These are simple offerings to help keep you in top paddle shape....when you can't surf every day. Fact is....I've been caught in a few rips over the years. That half hour paddle......isn't cake. Having a good base & lots of endurance training is always a bonus.

Started hitting the pool recently. Man I gotta say - it's humbling to always have a guy who's 100 lbs overweight in the lane left of you and a soccer mom to the right - and they are both kicking my @ss in stamina.

Winter + Beer + Car = a lot of work to do... last time I was out I literally gave up my fourth paddle out. Just noodles for arms and nothing to draw on stamina wise.

This "getting in shape" thing is new for me, but it's starting to show it's perks quicker than I thought it would.

Here ya go ghosting.......today's stamina builder. Good luck.

Ghoster, keep with it... it's amazing what consistent pool time will do for your stamina. Dont' worry too much about comparing yourself to anyone, either... I mean, it's not like surfing, right?

I started swimming with a masters club a few months ago and while I thought I was in OK shape, I definitely wasn't pushing myself as hard as these workouts do --very similar swims to what nm has been posting. My coach must be pulling these from the same book... but the 4K's are done in 90 min, not 60...

So, nm, you must be training for nationals?

Nope.

Training for life, baby. Training for life...
