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.

SCM: 3x8x25 on 30 if free/fly/back or 35 if *** speed=first 25 on a 100 race pace 100-200 easy between each 8x25 100% focus on technique and speed 600 meters of top quality swimming without burning your body too much This set performed correctly is very hard and effective and time efficient. Dont do this more than 1 times a week. After a couple of months your endurance and top speed will improve my absolute favourite... /Per

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 ...

the Heman set where we start at a specific time for the 100 free such as 2:45 and then we do 3 of them on that time with a 1 minute rest afterwards. Then we drop the time by 10-15 seconds and do 3 more 100s etc. etc. all the way down to about 1:20 or so.:groovy:
