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'm just about back into shape, so I have started working more sprints or race pace sets at practice. but I was curious if you had a typo, or do you really swim the 25 at 200 pace faster than your 100? shouldn't that be maybe 12 or 13? I should have given more details. In this case I was working on 1st 25 speed (from a push to a hand touch) for the 200 and second 25 for the 100 (also from a push to the hand and really looking to be closer to 11.9/12.2 range)...as you may be guessing, I do a LOT of speedplay work and don't always go into the full details of what I may be working on in this posts..
