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
So I made it! 2 hrs and 45 min (including a 200 warmdown). I didn't take my scheduled break as I felt good and didn't want to cool down at that point. On 21-60 I pretty much held 1:07-1:10's. I got a bit tired after those, but felt strong the whole way, had good turns, and good streamlines throughout. Ended up finishing with a 1:06 on the last 100.
The only real pain I have afterwards is a nice chaff mark on the inside of my right thigh where my squard Speedo endurance rode up a bit too much. I guess I need to get a jammer.
Looking back I think it would be a good challenge to do them all on 1:25 or 1:20.....that would give me anywhere from 10-15 seconds rest at most if you can maintain it throughout.
Good Job! I wish I was that fast. Mine was more of a 50x100@1:40 holding between 1:30-1:32. Then when the kids came in they did 100x50@1:00 and I did the first 50 of those with fins on and switched up the strokes did 20 as kick, 10 fly, 10 back and 10 more kick.
