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!

I'm a mid-distance guy and swam 100-1000 frees at Nationals (although I had to skip the 500 due to a nasty stomach bug 1/2 through the meet). For the 500 try doing some sets of repeats in the 150-250 distance. 100's are okay but they will need to be intense. I don't really train for any specific event so I'll just tailor workouts to what I want to work that day or week. Feel free to look at my blog for suggestions. I feel like I focused alot on the 200-1000 distances the month of April & May of this year.
