200 Challenge: Goal time, roadmap and status updates
Former Member
This thread is for people to post their goals for the 200 (in any stroke), outline how they plan to get there, progress updates and to get feed back on their plans and updates.
If by "lactate work" you mean lactate-tolerance, I would not wait until M-2 to begin, start it as soon as you feel up to it. The sooner the better, without injuring yourself -- though it may reach a crescendo in M-3 and M-2. And while I would certainly continue it in M-1, don't kill yourself. You shouldn't be dead-tired when you hit your taper.
Hey Chris, Thank you for your advice which I will heed. In the past I have used sets like the one on page 215 of the Swim Coaching Bible - Mike Bottom's contribution: 3 x { + 300 easy}. I'd be very grateful if you have suggestions/alternatives to try out.
