I just got back into masters after 8 years. I trained three times a week for a meet and did ok but was hurting at the end of 100's and now I feel like if I don't hit it 6 times a week I will not see much of an improvement if I don't hit it hard. I'm a sprinter and need some suggestions of how much should I be training and what's too much if this makes any sense??? Josh H
I think if you want to swim a good 100 you need some aerobic base. Sounds like your workouts have been focused purely on speed. Take one day a week and do an aerobic oriented set. It doesn't have to be 10x500 on 6:00 :), but try for sets where you are swimming for at least 30 minutes without a whole lot of rest in between repeats.
