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.

Your goal seems to not so much be able to hold your breath for an extended period of time (i.e not breathing for a fifty) but more to be able to mange your breath more on walls. Try working 200s double pullouts with quick turns, this will give you a good simulation of 200s in your race it will allow you to work on your pullouts as well. Take enough time to recover in between each, and work with whatever feels good. We usually end up doing 400-800 yards of these in some combination of 50s,100s and 200s.
