Have you done a T-30?

Good Morning It has been suggested to me to incorporate a T-30 swim into my overall workout plans. Has anyone used this swim as a basis for setting up their workouts? What has been your experience? Any thoughts welcome. Regards Spudfin

  • Does it have to be swimming? A treadmill at the health club will tell you how far you've gone in 30 minutes. Of course running is not swimming, but both are aerobic exercises. I guess this might help gauge your aerobic conditioning if you did it periodically, but one of the main purposes of the T-30 is to measure your anaerobic threshold. As gull mentioned, you can use your 100 pace from the T-30 to determine what sendoffs you should be going on for various types of sets. Unless you're a very slow runner, I don't think you'd want to use your running pace for this!
