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?
I'm not trying to pick on you, Solar. Just wondering if this set is really necessary for sprinters.
My lack of focus on aerobic capacity work in the pool is either my greatest strength or greatest weakness. :D I've had good luck with race pace work for 50/100s, and don't really have much desire to do conventional aerobic sets or 50K. If I do them, I usually kick. Everyone assumes they have to be swum, but not really. I get aerobic work from cross training as well (yoga, jump rope, tabata, cycle).
