In a crazy (and fruitless) attempt to recapture my youth, I do look forward to the holiday break when inevitably we all have at least one set or one practice where our master's coach throws us a doozy set (and we may have a 2 hour practice instead of the usual 1.5 hour practice) - in an attempt to either try and get us in shape or simply have a chuckle or help us justify eating that extra piece of fruitcake.
Does anyone have any crazy/ insanely long and challenging set they would like to share?
I'll start. We had sort of a post thanksgiving distance free set that we just did:
100 FR @ 1:15
200 FR @ 2:30
300 FR @ 3:45
400 FR @ 5:00
500 FR @ 6:15
Three times through. All on 1:15 pace. (Goal is to do eventually make at 1:10 pace).
Total yardage is 4500 for the set.
Has anyone done the 100x100s? And at what pace? I'm sort of interested in trying that.

I was soooo glad I missed practice that morning!!!! That is a sprinter's nightmare! Way to go for making that interval the whole way through. You are one tough cookie!! :bow:
I was so sorry that you were not there that day!! Landon was instrumental in my making that set. He's so long and smooth regardless of what's thrown at him. Every time I would feel myself tightening up, I'd just look over and see how he was swimming and I'd lengthen my stroke and focus on really rotating. I tell you, he's my own personal training video. I attribute my better breaststroke to him (and our coach Kim!)
