Does anyone want to give me some advice for their favorite simple tapor workout. I am a sprinter doing 50 and 100m free. I have been doing mostly workouts like this:
400 meter easy free
4 x 50 meter free - first 15 meter sprint / the rest easy
1 or 2 all out 50s.
a couple 100meter drills and a warm down
I usually train about 3000 to 4000 meters a day, so my taper period is about 800 to 1200 meters a day.
I have trouble with the balance of staying in shape but not training too much.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the help.
Its tough to do the start in the middle of the pool drills, since the places I train are too crowded and your not allowed to stop in the middle of the pool. This is a rule. In Japan, there are a lot of restrictions and rules at all the pools. I need to find a good university or highschool to train with.
Today, I did 1500 meters. I think that 1000 meters was a little too light when were are still 2 weeks out from the competition.

LONG COURSE - Sendagaya Pool, Tokyo
400 meter warmup
4 x 50 meter -- first 15 meter sprint.
4 x 50 meter -- last 15 meter sprint.
4 x 100 meter -- super fast turn drill -- the rest easy
300 Easy
TOTAL 1500 meters
Maybe some people think this workout is too simple, but it felt about right --> only 12 days until my 100-meter race at Worlds.
I will take tomorrow off and then do similar type of workouts until I fly out next week.
