what is the difference?

Ok so I do the following staple 10x100 in practices BUT I do it different ways...because people say that it is good to do BUT I don't know exactly the purpose behind the set SO I do 10x 100 3 different ways the 1st one is to do them all on 2:00 and hold between 1:20-25. the 2nd way to do it is 10x100 on 1:30 again holding 1:20-25. the final way that I do the set is 4x100 on 1:30 3x100 on 1:40, 2x100 on 1:50, and 1x100 on 2min and I can usually hold 1:18- 1:20's SO I know that all 3 ways are good for you but the mystery is WHY? I am a distance swimmer and focus on the 500/1000/mile. THANKS:D

  • try doing 15x100 thus: 5x100 on 1:30 5x100 on 1:25 5x100 on 1:20 continuous, no rest between each time change. if the interval is too tough, bump it up 5 sec. The last 5 should be minimal rest, maybe 2 to 3 seconds per 100. All should be swum holding roughly the same pace (say 1:18 in your case)
