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.

I did part of this workout on Monday, and it's nice in that it has some variety,especially if you like breaststroke or the IM. The reason I didn't finish it is that something was amiss with the apparatus that dumps chlorine into the pool, and it had dumped a LOT of Cl in the pool. It was to the point where I could taste it, smell it, and my eyes hurt even with goggles on. There are times when it is best to just call it a day. Anyway, here it is. I got it from my computer hard drive, and I don't remember where I got it from before that.
600 easy
2 X (50 Fly R:15"
100 Backstroke R:15"
150 Breaststroke R:15"
200 Freestyle R:15"
150 Backstroke R:15"
100 Breaststroke R:15"
50 Butterfly R:1')
200 easy 2400 yards
