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?

My off night will be today as have my son's last basketball game of the season. Last night I did mostly 25y sprints in the 3 events I was going to do at about 85-90% effort and longer rest. Tomorrow I was going to spend working on starts (I have yet to do a full 50 w a block start) and turns (especially back turns).
Friday was going to be similar to thursday with less effort.
Saturday was going to be just a "stretch" out day... utnil I found out the pool is closed do to the district meet going on... ugh... so I might go into the gym and get on a treadmill for a few minutes warm up... stretch out etc.
Thank you all for the replies!
Do not do too many starts. More than a couple can roast your legs and torso for a few days after.
