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

Just to add to Ande's post.
I swam the 110 x 100 yds "workout" New Years Day. That is the pool where I swim 4 times a week.
The number 110 has a root. One of our swimmers (and now one of our coaches) swam 85 x 100 in 1985. He and his buddies added one 100 per year. Hence we swam 109 x 100 in 2009 and 110 x 100 in 2010. Next year we will swim 111.
Most of us swam them on a 1:50 interval. Very makeable. Our goal was not to test our aerobic fitness but simply to enjoy swimming a few hours as a group on a cold clear New Years Day. We were generally repeating 1:20-1:30. A few wore fins for an extra boost at times to make the interval. A few others swam on a 2:00 interval or something else. A few swam 80 or so, another swam 90 x 100.
It was a fun morning - and we enjoyed our hamburgers and beer afterwards!
