As I've mentioned ad naseum i've been training since January for a meet this coming Sunday. I'm only doing 50y events at this time. My question is over the last week I have lowered the total yardage I have done each night but have added more speed type work and 25/50y sprints. If you have 5 days till your meet how would you plan out your workouts if you plan on hitting the pool 3 of those days?

  • You've been training since January for a meet this coming Sunday. You're only doing 50s. If you have 5 days till your meet how would you plan out your workouts if you plan on hitting the pool 3 of those days? you don't need to do much, Consider this: mostly swim easy with perfect strokes, turns, push offs, streamlines, & break outs. Wed 1200 total, do 3 x (25 fast followed by 75 easy followed by 1 or 2 min rest ) Thu 1000 total, do 2 x (25 fast followed by 75 easy followed by 2 or 3 min rest) Fri OFF Sat 800 total all easy Sun MEET
