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?!

A tight interval on 100 yard repeats is usually somewhere around your best time plus 15 seconds.
Again that's tight...and it takes time to get into that zone where you can make the repeats for 10 or more.
My all out 100 is 60 sec. But for 10x100 I can only hold a 1:40 send off and come in at 1:30.
I would love to "tighten" it up this year.
