Any advice on training for 1500 SCM. I will be competing for the first time Nov 5, 2005. I want to do the 1500 m. I've been with a masters club since early Jan. 05, I'm 53 yrs. old.
I train 3 to 4 times per week with the masters group, doing about 3600 yrds per workout.
Besides just training on my own doing distance sets is there any specific advice other than just swimming between the walls alot.
My coach suggested training sets of 16x 100's and working at keeping the same pace thru the entire set.
Besides sets designed to work you hard (to increase your endurance), you should also chose times to work on being "lazy". Find out the minimum effort needed to swim at a certain speed. If you can maintain your desired race speed with less effort, that will let you maintain that pace for more of the 1500.
