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
The fastest you'd ever see people swimming on our team would be 10 x 100 LCM @ 1:20. It's not a kind of set we do very often. Depending on the focus of the set, you'd probably see us doing 10 x 100 LCM @ 1:25, trying to hold sub 1:15, or 10 @ 1:30, trying to hold even faster. 10 @ 1:20 would be probably 1:15's at the beginning, and turning into touch-and-go before too long.
Remember... while yes, I'd call that a "fast set", it is by no means a "sprint set". If you're a sprinter, that's a deadly set. It's an aerobic threshold set that distance swimmers will do better at.
The sprint set version would be 10 x 100 @ 2:00-or-so, holding 1:10.
