Some people just love routine. Just recently I have listened interview with local Olympic swimmer Giedrius Titenis (not in English, so won't share). He mentioned that he liked to swim in a pool the same n*100 meter distances multiple times each day. Repeat and repeat and repeat. This allows person to compare current result with previous. Measure time and think "oh, I made in xy seconds but still had some power left, I can do better next time".
