Did it 18 months ago while training in AZ.....went 4:48 that year at nationals and 4:46 the year (or 2?) before. Also had us go 10 x 50s on :30.......Simons (coach) a real sadist! Actually the harder set was 10 x 100s on 3:00 descend 1-5/6-10!
JS.....there is a major difference in this set vs. what you and Kirk do which is typically a 10-20 x 100 set. 5 x 100s (at sea level) is far more of a "quality" set, minimal warm up and everything focused on the interval.
By the way......there are FAR more people in USMS capable of (and) doing this type of training; Mike Shaffer, Jim McConica, etc. etc.
