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.

We once did:
100 @ 2:00 (2:00 pace, 100 total)
200 @ 3:00 (1:30 pace, 300 total)
300 @ 4:00 (1:20 pace, 600 total)
400 @ 5:00 (1:15 pace, 1000 total)
500 @ 6:00 (1:12 pace, 1500 total)
600 @ 7:00 (1:10 pace, 2100 total)
700 @ 8:00 (1:08+ pace, 2800 total)
800 @ 9:00 (1:07+ pace, 3600 total)
900 @ 10:00 (1:06+ pace, 4500 total)
1000 @ 11:00 (1:06 pace, 5500 total)
The goal was to see how far you could get before missing the interval.

Rick,
At first glance, I was thinking, "That is so easy." Then, I read further. Ouch! I wonder how far I could get. Where did you make it to?!
