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 have gotten back into swimming after a long absence. I have read the different workouts, but i am confused. I just do not understand some of the directions. I have never had formal workouts. Whenever a workout is posted such as 4-50 at :50, I just do not understand what is being said. Can someone explain this to me? Also, I want to start traing fro sprints in the 50 free. Does someone have a good workout for that. I am also trying to improve my stamina and endurance. I can olny do an occassional 100 without stopping to catch my breath.
Thanks
