With a short work week and having eaten too much junk over Christmas its bugging me. SO...I thought that maybe this week I'd just do 100 x 100 outta the blue maybe on Wednesday AM or Thursday AM. I train alone so it will put me to the test just to see if I can focus for 120-180 minutes and stick to it.
So I'm looking for some advice on how to break them up. Obviously the first 10-20 will be warm-up, build at most. So I'm thinking something like this....feel free to add/suggest more. I'm just pulling this out of my ass.
1-10 Warm-up @ 2:00
11-20 Kick @ 2:00
21-30 Pull @ 1:30
31-40 Free @ 1:20 (hold 1:10's)
41-50 IM @ 1:45
5-10 Minute Food/Drink Break
51-60 Kick w/ Fins @ 1:40
61-70 Odds: Stroke @ 1:40 Evens: Drill @ 1:40
71-80 Pull w/ Paddles & Snorkel
81-90 IM Order/Free by 25's @ 1:45
and to finish it off:
91-100 Hold Best Avg. @ 1:30
Sheez... seems like EVERYONE is doing this set for New Year's!
I guess we are too since its a long time tradition around these parts.
But I have volunteered to coach!
I like the mix of 100s better than 100 straight thru freestyle.
But we are offering the same 1:30 freestyle option. Swimmers who cannot make 100s on 1:30 are swimming 75s or 50s. Then the team all swims together which is so much more FUN!
I'm hoping some of the local stroke specialty swimmers in the area come forward with a great set for us to do in the first week of the New Year.
My new club (Conejo Valley) even runs 7 workouts in an outdoor 50 meter LC pool set-up! Visit to SoCal anyone?
Happy New Year!
