I am a 50+ (actually 60+) female, and I thought it might be interesting for some older folks to post some workouts. This is one I did today.
400 easy
8 X 50 IM order - 15 seconds rest. Odds are building, and evens are 25 max plus 25 easy.
5 X 300 - (100 IM + 100 free + 100 stroke - 15 seconds rest between each 100), 30 seconds rest between each 300. Descend times for each 300.
250 cool down
total: 2,550 yards.
Descending the times for the 300 yard sets made this workout challenging and interesting.

Hi Effi - glad that you like some of the workouts. I thought it would be nice to post some workouts that are challenging (at least for me), but not impossible like the ones with the impossible intervals (at least for me). I find that some of the LA workouts, which are posted at the top of this forum are interesting and varied, and I have done a few of those lately.
Here is a workout I did yesterday. It is an old one from the masters group I swim with two mornings a week. When I find a workout that is interesting I will put it on my computer, then I can do it at a later date.
500 easy
9 X 50 (k/s) (d/s) (s,s) 15 sec. Rest
10 X 150 broken 75 smooth, 50 build, 25 sprint 10 sec. Rest at breaks
pull 300
9 X 50 on 1:15 descend the times: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9
200 easy
Total: 3400 yards
Somehow that 25 sprint was the hardest part of this workout.
