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 cannot attain race-pace during training.
:badday:
I thought that was true about myself too but sometimes I wonder if I am just not willing to work hard enough. I do a set of 6 50's at 98% and I literally* want to puke. Who wants to put themselves through that?
*one of my pet peeves is when someone says "literally" and they mean "figuratively.
