I got to the gyn at 5 minutes to 8:00 and the pool closes at 8:30 (bummer).
This is what I got in:
500 warmup
8x25 kicks on :45
100 easy
4x100 on 2:00
100 cool down
_____
1200 yards
In retrospect the warmup was too long and kept me from my main set. I had wanted to do 10x100 and get the yardage up to around 2000.
Also, the short cool down left me panting into the locker room. I used the treadmill for about 10 minutes to "come down" a little.
Anyway, can you structure 30 minutes total pool time so that you get in some decent work and still have time to cool down? Any creative ideas out there?
I haven’t done tri’s in a few years. I do however try to get in a few open water races each year and train in open water whenever I can.
If you ever get up our way feel free to come swim with our masters team in Peachtree City.
How about
5 X 100 on 1:30 Warm-up
5 X 100 on 1:25
5 X 100 on 1:20
5 X 100 ascending rest interval 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35 (last 2 warm down)
Start each set “on the top” and it is a 2000 yard work-out in 29:55.
For Fritz, cut the intervals by 10 seconds (1:20, 1:15, and 1:10), with the 1:15’s fly and the1:10’s back:)
Wow! You are a Machine! I like what you have here, but I am not quite up to it yet, though I hope to be. This was only my third workout and before that I haven't done much swimming over the years.
Fayetteville is not far away... Do you do triathlons? That is actually what I am training for - the Tri the parks sprint triathlon series.
