Did you think of something real easy, like practicing your events at 45% RP, or 0:45 rest so you will be 110% on race days:)? I will also have a birthday in a few weeks, turning 50. Haven&#39;t thought about a birthday swim until now. but thanks for the idea;): 50 x , as 50&#39; UW dolphin kicks / 50&#39; easy br on 0:50<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/197986?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:47:39 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b9fe608d-208d-47a4-8c67-3509cad8ecb3Former MemberWhat do you want to get out of the set? As an aerobic set, you could do 45 x 50 off a shortish rest. For more intensity you could do 45 x 50 as 25 fast, 25 easy... Or a set of 45m where you swim around 200 race pace for the 45m, then cruise the rest of a 100m... Or you could just swim continuously, singing Happy Birthday to yourself, until you can&#39;t take it anymore...<div style="clear:both;"></div>
