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?!

Well here's an update for you all:
I opted out of going to Florida with my team for our winter training trip--needed some time away from the regular coach and boy am I glad I did!
We have this amazing coach--that we met for the first time when we got back here on the 27th for our first practice. We have been doing amazing workouts (harder, faster, longer) than anything we've done before. It's an amazing feeling to swim for 5 days like this a see and feel the differences in my conditioning and watch my times shave down. I did 21x100s on 1:15 this morning. Which was one of my goals. Granted...I barely made them--less than 5 seconds rest on each one by the end...but it was at the end of practice...so I am pretty dang happy with that. I also did 10x200s this morning holding 2:20s which is a big step up for me as well. ((I am NOT a practice swimmer) (and even more so since there is no competition--there are only 3 of us here training and i've been doing my sets on different intervals than the other two who are a tad slower)
