Hi everyone,
In preparation for a 6k race next year, I've changed my training plan to interval training 3 days a week, Mo (20*100m), We (10*200m), Fr (5*400m).
Currently I keep lowering the time it takes to swim one repetition.
I have two main questions:
is this a good strategy, to lower the time/ interval until I achieve a desired pace and after that to increase the number of repetions, aiming for race distance? What would be a better approach?
For these 3 days of interval training, should I keep 100m/ 200m/ 400m intervals or should I increase to 200m/400m/800m? A better option?
Cheers,

Race is next July. I swam a 6k this summer and would like to improve my time next year.
2k/ day is not a problem. Getting faster is challenging and sometimes the pool is very warm, but I'm cutting times week after week.
I'm new to interval training and was wondering what distance/ repetition should I use... Thanks for the reply!
