Hypoxic Advice/Workouts--Not Your opinion of Hypox Efficacy
Former Member
Discusing Hypoxic sets with a freind, can anyone suggest a good hypoxic set for me.
I'm doing 3500-4000 3x a week and a short sprint workout on the weekend. I will not likely add another day to my schedule.
What's a good starting workout, and also where in my workout should I do this? Do you mix it up e.g. hard interval set then a hypox or hypox and then a pace set.
I am guessing mixing is a good thing but what's a good start point for a set and intervals for this? BR and FR being my stronger strokes.

We do everything on intervals, but I don't remember what they were. For the warmup set you don't want to make them too tight (it is a warmup, after all). You could probably get away with less rest on the 200s, because even though you're dying at the end from breathing every 9, you get to go back to breathing every 3 on your next swim.
Also, especially on the sets where you're doing the underwater stuff, make sure you let someone (teammate or guard) know what you're doing so they can keep an eye on you. Just in case...
