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.

My pool was recently turned around to long course. Today the water temperature was reasonable (thanks to some rain), so I decided to do an old workout that I had in my baggie. It was a short course workout and featured a fair amount of fly, but hey!! -the water was cool. So I decided to give it a go.
1. 600 meters easy
2. 10 X 100 freestyle with 15 sec. rest
3. 2 X (4 X 100) - 30 sec. rest
25 fly + 75 free
50 fly + 50 free
75 fly + 25 free
100 fly
4. 300 easy 2700 meters
set #3 was supposed to be 3 X (4 X 100), but there is a HUGE difference between short course and long course when doing fly. Gasp!! Maybe I'll do the whole thing when I am more used to long course?
