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 loved this set that I did with my Masters group right before we went into our Summer LCM practices
SCY
Main Set
12 x 400 free
* odd on 5:30
* evens on 5:20, 5:10, 5:00, 4:50, 4:40, 4:30
:bed: (ok i'll grant you that those even intervals get really tough near the end so kudos if you made all of them)
I dunno about a favorite workout but here's a recent set that was good:
descend 8 x 75 fly on 2:15
I went something like 50, 50, 50, 49, 49, 48, 47, 46. I wasn't focused on descending until the last two. The rest happened naturally.
