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.

Here is the workout I did at early morning practice yesterday.
400 easy
4 X (100 + 75 + 50 + 25) with 15 sec rest. The 100 and the 50 were freestyle, and the 75 and the 25 were stroke (breaststroke in my case). The freestyles were easy and the strokes were hard.
12 X 50 on 1 minute (descend times every three). The time interval should be challenging. He wanted me to do them on :55, but even on a minute my rest time was often not much longer than a leisurely open turn. So, you might want to adjust the time interval to make in challenging (or possible) for you.
400 easy.
Total: 2200 yards.
