Apprently there is a group of Masters Swimmers in NY. They do a
100 Yard X 100 times swim. I take it that this is 100 repeats of
100 yards. What is the repeat time? Every 2 min. 3 min? Think
this workout is super for long distance training.

In high school the captain of our team (Bobby Hackett class of '76) did a (100) 100's on a minute. He and Brian Goodell from Mission Viejo were the best distance swimmers in the world at that time.
The coach timed him on every single one and he got faster as the set went on. He was holding :53's towards the end and finished with a :52. That's still hard to imagine anyone doing stuff like this.
There's a book called "Four Champions and One Gold Medal". This is one of several unbelievable practices which are mentioned in it.
How many people in the world could do that now? Amazing that he did it over 35 years ago.
