  • YOIKES, that one looks like it'll put a hurting on ya. I like it. Sounds like I need to put this one to the test. I never laugh at the early intervals when I see a total of FORTY repeats :applaud: Paul OK, this one KICKED MY A$$!!!!!!!! To start with, I think this was biting off more than I was able to to chew. And I kept the same intervals but swam in a SCY pool. 300 Warmup 100 Kick 100 Moderate Pace sw 5x50 1:05 - Tried to stay long and loose held about :36 on these 5x50 :55 - Held :37 5x50 1:00 - Again held :37 - starting to notice a break down in stroke 5x50 :50 - Held :37 until the last and then stroke started to come apart and also started to hold my breath. Bad news. At this point I bailed, a little disappointed in myself. But now I have a starting point for this work out so I will revisit it 4 weeks from now. 2x100 IM - nice and easy 100 Free - slow Total of 1800 in about 35 minutes. Shoulders are very tired right now so I think that this was the right amount of work for me at this point in time. Not as far along as I had hoped but I think I did the right thing by cutting it short. Paul
