If I continue or step-up my interval training will my times definitely improve?.I have been interval training for a little while now without noticing any significant improvement in my times.:confused:

    Hi Jerrycat, Thanks for your encouragement.Basically I swim 4 /5 times a week doing 2000-2500 metres each session.I used to just swim straight through the session with a couple of short breaks.Then I switched to doing mainly drills to lengthen my stroke.Now that I have improved my stroke length I am looking to speed up my stroke rate.For a typical session now I will do 20 x 50 metre laps freestyle at 75% with a rest of 30 seconds between each set.Then I will do 10 x 100 metre laps freestyle again at 75% with a rest of 45 seconds between each set.I finish off with a straight swim of 500 metres.Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, Mark:)
