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"...
From my meet last Saturday I can tell it is not enough. My body had a difficult time going into "race speed," especially on the short sprints where I really needed it. I am swimming hard during practice but I've noticed that I do tend to hold back just a bit to make it through the set/through the practice. I'm not really into the pain thing, a bit of problem if I want to go fast!
