I got to the pool tonight after work. It kicked my butt. I've decided to follow this plan. I did the week one routine and basically followed it as written. I wasn't able to freestyle the whole thing, but I did about half. For the 4 X 100 yard segments, I was able to do 50 freestyle and then backstroked the next 50. For the 4 X 50 segments, I don't exactly remember what I did, but I'm pretty sure it came out to about half and half. The final 4 X 25 segments were all freestyle.
I got out of the pool and didn't feel so great. The pool was like a bathtub and I think I may have gotten slightly overheated. I'm feeling pretty good now (about an hour later) though.
For this, I'm not worried about speed. I just want to be able to swim a mile freestyle without stopping. Once I can do that, I'll decide if I want to worry about doing it faster.
