Mike, you are correct. The set being discussed here is something I swim in the middle of my training cycle....something to build aerobic base and prepare to transition into my quality phase, something I just started last week.
In this next phase the sets to me are much harder as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, on Friday it was:
Warm up
8 x 100s @ 15 seconds rest; drill/swim/drill/swim
12 x 25s @ :40; descend in set of 3, one set each stroke
Main (3 times thru):
3 x 75s @ 1:30; drill, build, fast by 25
100 easy
100 for time
200 pull
Whereas on the base building phase the 5 x 100s @ 1:05 was really a challenge to hold 1:03s, however here the emphasis is on the single 100 and trying to go under 50.0
John's right though...Rich is the king of this type of work!
