I didn't realize what I was saying mathematically was so unclear. I will upload some example spreadsheets to play with. Oh gees don't worry. It was probably clear for most, but it can never be clear enough for a dumb like me. Thanks for your explanations. I understand much better now. I have a friend which is a physics experts that is currently analyzing all this and dumming all your stuff down for me.
Nope, don't like that workout (for me personally). I haven't checked, but I'm not sure you mentioned all the active recovery before. Still, aren't you repeating that set 5x? And the 50 was "dessert"? Seems like an odd sprinter set to me. And I'm just wondering if elite sprint specialists really do it ... No, the set is not to be repeated 5 times. The whole set duration is around 60min already. The active recovery portion is made of 50m on your back (breathe breathe breathe), then 50m kick (relax breathe relax breathe relax breathe) then a 100m relaxed full stroke to get back into free style feeling prior performing the next overloaded distance. Note that this active recovery is important to allow for blood ph to get back to close to normal levels as rapidly as possible.
This is not a race pace set, hence the fact that I just qualified this final 50 as the desert. It's a pure aerobic capacity set which would allow a decent sprinter to log between 5-7 minutes (really fair guessed here) at max o2 peak. This is not a race pace set, it's a vo2max set which sprinters may see as something fun to perform, since the core of the set takes them gradually in their comfort zone.
What would be your suggestion as an aerobic capacity set? How would you approach this sort of work, if you thought it was important to address?
