My hardest workout last week was 1900 yards - but 800 was at race pace:
800 warm-up
4 build 25s sprint
4 fast 25s
100 easy
12x50 every 90s sec at 100 race pace
200 warm down
I had time for another 2500 of kicking / swimming / pulling, but I was so tired, there is no point, except "counting yards"...
I do quite a lot of race pace/AFAP work, both kicking and swimming. I also don't swim as much yardage as many masters. I can't do 800 race pace every day or all week long though -- too old. I need some recovery time or cross training.
The hardest set I've done recently was 8 x 100 on 2:00 dolphin kicking with an MF and holding :58-1:00. Did hypoxic work the rest of the workout because I was dead.
