I think most masters who work out with a team tend to swim about 3-4 K per work out. But what I want to know is what percentage of that is hard swimming? And by hard I mean race pace effort.
For example, last nights work out was the following.
4X200 warm up. (EZ swimming)
10X100 - odd on 1:35 (EZ) Even on 1:20 (hard)
3 rounds of the following
200 on 3:00 Build (EZ/moderate)
3X100 on 1:40 (25 hard/25 EZ...)
4X50 kick on 1:05
Warm down 200
2750 of this was EZ or moderate swimming. And only 950 was hard swimming. About 26%. For the high intensity/quality yards fans is this about right or is it a little light?

My coach usually puts percent of Max heart rate of a time on the workout.
Not only do I do the exact workout, I hit all my time hacks (unless I just can't go fast enough, then there is no rest interval. I even count my beats per minute to be sure I where I'm supposed to be. I know I just creeped out Fort and Geochuck.
When i was on a team the "Group think" would change the workout or socializing would increase the rest periods. But by myself, I stick to what written. I hate just standing at the end of the pool waiting on the clock.
I too use excel to track all my workouts. Does any one think I'm a little too Type A about this?:bitching:
