Happy with today’s #TSC as I felt like I still had some beans, so added an additional 10 (x25m) lengths to my usual 100! This is the furthest I’ve swam and yet I still managed to maintain a consistent and solid pace with my breaststroke.

And now for something different for #TSC, a new pool: the 50m London Fields Lido. I haven’t swam in a pool this length and whilst I sure noticed the difference, I actually think I preferred it (able to get into a better rhythm).

Took myself out for a little jog along the Thames last night and drowned out the world. Ended up going like the clappers (fogging up my glasses as I cooled down). A slight improvement to pace too: routine and consistency are key to making incremental improvements.

Back on it with #TSC this evening, hitting 2.5km again matching pace from three weeks ago (last time I swam before holiday). I think I need to restart work on my freestyle and want to try and add in a second swim each week to increase levels of cardio too.

Great episode with Helle Thorning Schmidt, especially with how she tackles the question of trans rights openly, noting pride in her son.
It’s a shame that our current government doesn’t seem to share this, which would go some way to end the culture war against our trans and non-binary siblings.

Running from work to the pool, to political meetings today, but worth it for #TSC (Tuesday Swim Club). I maintained the distance and kept a similar (albeit slightly slower) pace – mostly I suspect because I ran yesterday too!
