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

I am in awe of you guys… having only just joined the forum I had no idea how quickly people swam!! And I thought I was a bit mad with the training I do – but you lot are truly bonkers!! The trouble is that when I hear of someone doing something like 100x100 I feel driven to have a go myself Grrrr…. I guess I would be repeating on around 1:40-45 to get 15s rest!
On another note – I am determined to get quicker this year. The other day I did a 34s 50 freestyle at the end of a 2hr squad session so I guess a 30ish is possible (have never competed). I am 51 years old and currently swim about four times a week doing about 12-14km. I also do other stuff, running, rowing and general gym work making about 10-12 hours a week. I would welcome any advice, however radical as to how to get down to a 60s 100 and the ability to hold a 75s pace over say a 2k set? Cheers Nick
