Learning to breathe - Week 9 – Session 5 – 60min X-Train

Refreshing session in the pool this evening.  My legs were feeling heavy after Sunday’s run but after a short walk to the pool after work and a couple of laps I felt on top of the world again. After reading about Murakami’s experience in the swim section of a triathlon I focussed on exhaling into the water. Sounds obvious, but up until now I have focussed on inhaling when I’ve been swimming and still feeling exhausted at the end of each lap. But by focussing on exhaling I found I had more energy and the inhaling happened more naturally.
