you're a sick bunch
The longer the better
your sprints are 200's, 400's, 500's, 800's, & 1000's
You barely get going on 1,500's & 1,650's
You love 2Ks, 3K's, 5K's, 10K's, & some of you love 25K's.
Talk to each other, I have no clue what you do over there.
What did you do in practice today?

An hour! how nice! Lake Michigan is hovering around 51; no one-hour swims yet.
Chaos, do you sprint episodically in OW swims, as described in my above post?
Thanks.
i often apply fartlek techniques during long swims... like: 20 strokes cruise, 10 strokes fast, 20 strokes cruise, 20 strokes fast, 20 strokes cruise, 30 strokes fast.... etc to 100 strokes fast and then back down. to differentiate between speeds (and help me keep count) i'll change my breathing pattern between cruise and fast speeds.
yesterday, we started with the current (the hudson flows both ways) and finished against, so in effect, the first 30 minutes was cruise, and the way back was fast (but not faster!)
