I see many people saying that one should swim at or close to race pace in training. My question is how much rest should be allowed for the interval such as doing 100's on the 1:25 and coming in on 1:15 = 10 sec rest. I don't know about everyone else but I have a hard time maintaining race pace without significant rest or for prolonged periods. Thanks in advance.
I don't think I'm following you. For your example of 10x50 on 2:00 you'd be swimming a total of 10x30 seconds or 300 seconds, and resting 9x90 = 810 seconds. That's a work:rest ratio of 300/810 which reduces down to 1:2.7. Am I missing something?
No but you sure sound like an engineer :applaud:
OK, using my example, assume that the NEXT set starts at the end of the rest period for the last rep :D
Jeez
