Long course training sets - 200 strokes and 200/400 IM
Former Member
Hi there. I'm looking for some effective long course training sets for the 200 strokes and 200/400 IM. I already train with a masters team, but I'm looking to do 1-2 sessions a week on my own. I want to make these sessions very specific with the goal being to race faster.
I want to improve 2 things:
1. Speed - improve my splits, so my overall times go down
2. Endurance - ability to 'hang on' for longer
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
If you don’t mind doing serious digging, check the archived “high volume” workout forum and look for the old posts by “pwb.” He was the HVT (high volume training) workout coach/plaster about 5-6 years ago. His workouts are geared towards those races (and towards 400/800/1500).
