I swam my 3000 postal swim this morning and had quite a bit of time to think, probably much more than most, and I was wondering how many yards most masters swim in a workout? From what I read here most workouts are interval types, I do intervals but of longer duration than many ( 500,1000,1500 ) I am more sea turtle than shark. I am sure this has been discussed to death here, just to lazy ( like I said, sea turtle ) to look it up. Thanks.
OK
So I do have a job BUT due to time constraints and pool constraints I try to do 3 practices a week on my days off that are about 5000yds. I am a distance "dog" that flirts with the IM and does breaststroke. I try and do 1 distance day where the repeats are 500+, 1 IM day where I focus on turns transitions etc. And finally because its "good for me" a sprint day where I do repeat 100s/50s. I really dislike the whole sprint thing BUT they say that it is good to do...the only fast twitch muscles that I have are above the neck... I can talk fast and blink fast:thhbbb: thats about it.
