I was just wondering what interval you all swim your 100s on in practice? I certainly understand the correlation between the 100 pace you set for yourself in practice and your times at meets...so...are we swimming fast enough in practice to meet our goals? What time would you ideally like to be able to hold on repeat 100s?
I can do 100s on 1:20 for ever and a day.
but as soon as I go down to 1:15 I'm huffing and puffing and barely making it...(I can probably make just about 10 at that pace at the moment on a REALLY good day) but...my ideal goals for repeat 100s are as follows:
20x100 @ 1:15 (currently can hold 1:06s if they are on 1:20)
10x100@ 1:10 (Currently can hold 1:03-4s if they are on 1:15)
5x100 @ 1:05-just make them (5:25 500free)
(Currently can hold 1:02s if they are on 1:15)
So thats what I am gonna work towards this upcoming year--i figure with the new year right around the corner...why not make some goals!?
How about you?!
I'm always happy to get intervals between 1:15-1:25 cause I know those are cruisers. Below 1:15 is uncomfortable and over 1:25 is generally a hard speed set. We never seem to get sets of 5, always 10 or 12, and the unfortunate set of 15 two weeks ago.
In an especially grizzly set last year the coach divided us up. Half the team did 10 X 100s @ 2:30 all-out while the other half did 20 X 100 on 1:15. Both options blew.
