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?

Push ups are bad????
What's an iron monkey?:dunno:
For me, push ups are bad. I don't want my injured shoulder holding that much of my body weight. If you don't have any shoulders issues, probably good for you!
Here's what Mini-Fort calls an "iron monkey" -- they do this in her dryland workouts. I only did 50 today, so I still owe Paul another 50. You're supposed to do them slowly.
