I'm talking about a regular set you or your team does at set intervals (weekly, monthly, etc.) to gauge progress. My team hasn't traditionally done this, but I'm thinking about trying it out for the long course season.
My thought is to do 8x100 on a 1:30 sendoff holding the fastest possible pace. I think I'll do this every two weeks throughout the summer. Does this seem like a good strategy? I'm focusing on distance this summer and I want to get my pace dialed in. I think I should be able to do this set holding about 1:10s when I'm in good shape. Would 1:30 be a good sendoff?
