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: SCY 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)

  • I coached this morning at Cactus: SCY warm up = 600 (or 10 minutes) rotate thru 25 swim/25 kick/25 swim/25 scull 16 x 100's odds free @ 1:30 even's IM/Stroke or kick @ 1:45 Main set 200 @ 2:30 fast 4 x 50's @ :40 pace 2 x power kicks @ :30 (kick as hard/far as you can underwater, swim easy free to wall if you surface for a breath 100 easy 200 @ 2:30 pace 4 x 50's @ :40 fast 2 x power kicks @ :30 100 easy 400 hypoxic pull (2 breaths per length) Kick 25/50/75/100/75/50/25 each length is smooth to far side flags/fast into wall Quite a few people have asked about the send off's on these workouts being pretty quick and I want to make sure that people know I'm only posting the "Group 1" intervals...there is always at least one other....usually two groups. Case in point the workout listed above from this morning: Group II 200 @ 2:45 50's @ :45 25's @ :40 Group III 200 @ 3:15 50's (2 instead of 4) @ :50 25's @ :45 Group IV 200, 50's & 25's all on 15 seconds rest
