After 20+ years of coaching and writing workouts I am in need of some inspiration. I need to break out of my typical workout design and get some new ideas.... If any of you could take the time and post your favorite workout (sprint, stroke, lactate, or distance) or maybe just post your favorite set, it would help put together some new ideas for my team and myself...
Thanks!!!!!
Here is one with lots of variety that exercises the mind too, with mental gymnastics to keep the time intervals straight.

A more challenging option is to replace all of the "hard" swims with a non-freestyle stroke of choice.
