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)

  • Coached the noon workout at ASU SCY * Note; I had a unique situation where my entire group were OW/Tri's so I adapted my original plan as they were not in the "cycle" of the aerobic/recovery day that was planned. I was influenced by Mark's workout that I "floated" thru this morning and had them do this: SCY 10 minute choice warm-up Main 800 negative split @ 10:00 8 x 100's @ 1:30 * 75 pace (practice sighting)/open turn into 25 underwater kick as far as possible surface and easy swim if breath needed 800 team pursuit (lead switch every 200 yds and sighting) 16 x 50's @ :40 (hold fastest pace possible) 300 active recovery warm down alternating by 25's = 25 backstroke swim, 25 scull
