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?!
To me, "barely making," an interval is less than 3 seconds rest. My lane regularly gets intervals of 100s on 1:30, 1:25, sometimes 1:20. Occasionally we'll get them on 1:15....on a good day, I'll, "barely make," a 1:15 interval (touch + turn). On the extremely rare VERY GOOD DAY, I can do maybe 3 to 5x100 @ 1:10 (when the stars are in perfect alignment, I've had the perfect amount of rest, etc). Its been a while since I've timed a fast 100, but I did a 1:03 during a practice once last year. On an off day, I usually won't even make the 1:20 interval, unless I put on some toys, which I try to avoid.
Our 100x100s (yds) is this Sat, it will be interesting to see what kind of intervals we're given (still haven't decided if I'll do it, depends how I feel when I wake up Sat morn).
