I nearly missed Paul Smith's excellent views on cycled,race pace workouts as they were hidden in the Dara Torres thread and I had grown tired of it.I like to do 15 week cycles,increasing intensity for 12 wk and tapering for 3.I do 4 workouts/wk,2 are spinning,lifting,swimming and 2 are swimming only.While I enjoy a good workout but unlike Dave I have never found a workout as satisfying as a good race.So how do you train?

well, i voted other.
every interval set is at some race pace for me. (100yds to 10k+)
i pretty much do what the coach says (except kick w/boards or pull w/buoys).
the big meets are too close to ow season so everything is somewhat of a compromise.
