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

You guys are all ANIMALS! I would have been up for this back in my 20's, but those years are long since past. As my birthday is on Dec. 30, I convinced 12 of my good friends to swim with me, 56 x 100 on 1:30. I started this ritual on my 40th and look forward to this expression of making another lap around the sun each year. Held them all below 1:17 and actually could have kept going. Maybe on my 60th I will do 100 just to see if I can!
You could do it, I'm convinced! Just like you said...you could have kept going. I had originally scheduled a break at 50, but you get into that rhythm and just don't want to stop. I always tell people swimming, at least distance, is a lot like running....once you find that groove you just want to keep going and it just comes automatic.:agree:
