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.

I am starting to think that the best way to swim faster races in meets is to swim fast races in practice. Less 10 x 100 on whatever and more full effort swims with more rest in between. This will get you both anaerobic training as well as some aerobic training. It will also give you the sensation of swimming at speed, turning at speed, streamlining, etc.. What better way to train your body and mind for a race than to race.
Oh give it a rest already...lol
