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)
Do you feel like there's value in "floating" through a recovery day? I assume you're focusing on technique when you do this, but other than that? Did you really need a recovery swim when you didn't swim on April 1?
Are you still doing your ballerina sculling?
Fort, I see "rest days" and "recovery days" as two different things...on a "rest" day i don't workout at all...on a "recovery" day I'll do drills, hypoxic swims basically till I feel loosened up. Also, I don't follow a strict "schedule"...if I really feel good I'll attack 2, 3 workouts in a row and if I'm feeling like crap take extra days to "heal"...sadly it takes more and more rest/recovery days to get over a hard workout.
I do every possible sculling drill I can find...and for the record I look great in ballerina shoes.
