Hey everyone!
I'm training for the 400m/500yd freestyle. However, since I'm doing this on my own, I'm not 100% if my workouts are really quite tailored to this goal. I've been doing lots of 100s and 200s, but not sure what structure to go in. And how many times a week with certain sets? I've been trying to read posts and tips on this, but I would love any actual written out workouts that people can show me that will help me achieve my goal. Right now, I can do 8 x 100s on 1:30, and some of those I have made on 1:25. Am I doing the right thing with sets of 100s? 200s? If somebody can help me write some workouts, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Helen,
As 311 views brought no response, I invite you to poke around on the site a bit; I think this question has been asked in the last couple of months. Also look under Ande's thread on the Distance Lane, in Swimming Related Topics forum. As I recall, there is some interval work with 125 yds. In other words, breaking up the 400/500 into shorter sprint intervals, maybe connecting them sometimes with 25 or 50 EZ.
And stay tuned! It's bound to come up again.
Good luck!
