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.

Today the pool was cooler than usual, so I decided to take advantage of the slightly refreshing water and do a good workout. The good news is that the pool was cool today; the bad news is that *they* turned the heat on. Sigh.
Here is the workout.

2. 3 X (6 X 50): BLD / 10 MAX / 25 MAX - R15" - 100 REL. BETWEEN SETS. - 1ST SET F / 2ND MS / 3RD CH.

100 easy
