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"...

Hi Paul,
I can't speak for Erik but I can tell you that our coach always talks about "second half" splits of goal (rested) times as race pace: 2nd 50 of the goal-time 100, or last 100 of the goal-time 200, or the last 3 50s of the goal-time 200 (if, ideally, all at the same pace).
I have to agree with this!
