Perhaps I am just a mouth breathing, knuckle dragging neanderthal, but I fail to discern any particular value in the set I was given this morning.
10 times through: 25, 50, 75, 100 on 1:05. Odd sets freestyle, even sets stroke (25 fly, 50 ***, 75 back, 100 free) on 1:15.
There is no connecting thread of interest or challenge in any of the components here, other than to make a 100 free on 1:05 five times, spaced out by a bunch of filler. Kind of a weak argument in a 2500 yd set.
I got out after 4 sets, disgusted or frustrated, I'm not sure which.
Coaches, is this what you are giving because you are afraid people will be too bored with 10 x 100s? Or would you rather they get out early, knowing that you will not change because the "book" says this is a good workout?

Thanks for clarifying all of those points for me Paul...LOL!! I remember an earlier post from John in another thread about Worlds where he said that he was so jacked up on caffiene before one of his races that one of his teammates compared him to the ground hog from the movie "Over The Hedge"....Now it is all making more sense to me...LOL!!
Jim, I have been fighting the same 5 lbs of fat on my gut for the last 8 years. Every time I take it off, it comes right back on.
