https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/3822/intense-short-duration-trainingAbout 4 years ago, I met some swimmers in this forum that reguarly did high intensity, but short duration (like 1000 to 2000 yard) workouts. Over time, I lost touch with those swimmers. These swimmers, had some clever name for these types of workoutsen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/38844?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 12 Jan 2006 10:42:28 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:bc273640-6688-47b0-8721-fcc5fa685234swimr4lifeThese type workouts are great for sprinters. Quality, not quantity is key. Try to do a race pace set of 12.5&#39;s, 25&#39;s, 50&#39;s or 100&#39;s with lots of rest at least once a workout. If you truly work hard, you will get a lot out of them. Good luck and please keep us posted!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/38825?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 11 Jan 2006 08:04:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4da857a1-2c58-41d7-b3a5-c986c348da04Allen StarkI average 2000/workout 4X/wk.and lift weights 2 of those days. Everything is race pace or warm up/cool down. One day is sprints,like 25s on the min,one day is like 50s on the 2 min at 100 pace,one day is like 100s on the 3:30 at 200 pace,the fourth day is whatever I feel needs the most work. This seems to work for me. One key is never take much time off,because if you do you have to get back in shape.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/38784?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 11 Jan 2006 07:28:20 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:93fa23f0-d389-48e4-90db-6bbcd0bfe87eFormer MemberYou might want to read through the &quot;Race Club Article&quot; discussion thread.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
