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)
The main set was 5 x the following
1 x 75 @ 3:00
1 x 50 @ 2:00
1 x 25 @ 1:00
750 yards in 30 minutes with lots of potential pain!
I remember one of my coaches telling me a few weeks ago that 800 yards is considered the sweet spot for fast sets like this.
