Just curious, If a person can swim a 10 x 100 meter free set on the 1:35, would you condier that to be slow, medium, fast? Where would that person be in your workout group? Medium, Medium fast lane? That's swum with no fins, no pull buoy. Wiht so many swimmers coming in with so many diverse backgrounds of training, competition, success, it will be interesting to see the interpretations. Thanks, Rob

    Ahhh - these sets are so popular and I just don't like them - just a personal issue. What is the purpose ? How much rest are you supposed to get ? Is 2 seconds enough - and if so, can you just do flipturns ? Why not just swim a 1000 for time ? Why not go 10x100 with 10 seconds rest and go best average. Having said - we also do a lot of these, but mostly yards. Long-course, all of our lane 2 (or group 2) people could make that - and a couple of lane 1 people can kick that :weightlifter: I think Michael is still learning how to read the pace clock :banana:
