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 Jean!
This is what I did this evening which is considerably better than some of the workouts (or lack of them) I did last week. This is being done to improve endurance.
1. 400 easy warm-up, including some drills (kick and pulls)
2. Set of three 200 yard ladders, one each of freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke at 50/100/150/200/150/100/50; varying speeds, but at least sprints on the 50's.
3. Rest interval 0:30.
4. 200 cool-down, nice and easy.
Total torture :D : 3,000 yards (Only kidding here, on the "torture!")
Who said we're getting OLD, Jim? I thought we're getting better?
All the best,
Mark
