Tall Pauls Favorite Workouts and/or Sets

Getting to travel as much as we do we get to "taste" a lot of workouts from clubs all over the country...plus on occasion I come up with something to toss at the workouts I coach. For those lucky enough to swim with me Saturday (I'm coaching) here's the main set: 800 negative split (get 400 split) @1:00 rest 6 x 100's @ 1:20 400IM 100 kick for time 400 negative split (faster than 2nd 400 of the 800, get 200 split) 1:00 rest 5 x 100's @ 1:15 200IM 100 kick for time (different stroke) 200 negative split (faster than 2nd 200 of 400) 4 x 100's @ 1:10 100IM 100 kick for time (different than first two) So I did this workout last Sat. I cheated a bit though, changing the 100 interval to start at 1:25 and end on the 1:15. 1:10 is a really hard interval for me, and I'd just done a bunch of 200's on the 2:20 the day before. Perhaps if I had a Sat. training partner or a coach, I could have found the motivation to do the set as Paul wrote it. I know... excuses, excuses...
