I was hoping to see what some of your favorite workouts are. As we share them, there may be some new workouts of others we want to try.
I have so many (3) :rofl:, but I am only going to post one here for space sake. I will add I love PACE work; it is so beneficial for anything from the 200 upward. And I guess my favorite pool race ever is the 200 back and the 800 m free. Just thought I'd share.
Here's the Pyramid I am fond of:
After a 400 warmup
Pyramids (the kicking is no board)
100 free
100 IM
200 kick (100 choice, 100 free kick)
200 free swim
300 swim (100 back, 50 ***, 100 back, 50 free)
300 free swim
200 kick (100 choice, 100 dolphin)
200 free swim
100 IM
100 free
Rest
6x75's free on 1:10 intervals
Rest
6x50's choice on 1:00 intervals
Rest
6x25's sprint free or your choice with 30 seconds rest or more.
Swim down: 300-400 yards.
3000 yards total.

I actually don't mind doing distance free workouts on occassion. The occassional 2 or 3 500s isn't bad. I've done this workout twice lately and it's been fun:
200 free easy
4 x 50 fly on 1:00
200 free easy
4 x 50 back on 1:00
200 free easy
4 x 50 *** on 1:00
200 free easy
4 x 50 free on 1:00
The 200s are on an interval where you are going about 70% during the swim and getting 30 seconds rest or so. Last night I did this and instead of *** did free and on the last free did 4 x 50 free with fins and paddles on 2:00 aiming for PBs - that was fun.
I am also a huge fan of 6 x 50 on 1:30 sprint ...
