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 like the way you frequently incorporate dive work into your workouts. That surely pays off, especially for sprinters like pwb.
Geek...I go back to my post-college swimming coaches thoughts on starts, practice them 2-3x per week all season and two weeks out from taper stop to fully rest your legs...do a couple of starts at the meet and no more.
We also do starts with fins on...
PWB COULD be a great sprinter but isn't mean enough and won't hit the gym and put some meat on!!
