So I WAS going to go long and easy (as far as intensity) this week since I've thrown weights in for the first time in a long time. However, so far I've gone more intense than I intended. So I figured I'd try to see what others could come up with rather than seaching the databases, etc. My creative juices aren't flowing today.
My only criteria is that I have 90 minutes max and it should be 4000-4500. I'm also swimming Sat AM, but that will be light, only 2500-3000 and more stroke work.
Thanks!
Don't know if you like IMs or what kind of intervals, but here's a good one my 12 year old daughter gave me:
600 warmup: 100 free, 400 IM kick/drill by 25s, 100 free
4 x 200 IM on interval A
1 x 100 free on interval B
3 x 200 IM on interval A - 10 seconds
1 x 200 free on interval B pace
2 x 200 IM on interval A - 20 seconds
1 x 400 free on interval B pace
1 x 200 IM fast and allow yourself about 30 seconds rest
1 x 600 free on interval B pace
200 warmdown
4100 total
I admit that it's not that creative, but it goes by quickly and the mix-up with the IMs and free is nice. I did this SCM starting the IMs on 3:00 and keeping the frees on a 1:20 base, aiming to descend the IMS within each set and trying to hold a comfortable 1:15 pace on the frees. It keeps your heart working.
