HI
Any coach out there who has suggestions for workouts for older masters swimmers who specialize in 1650/1500 would be greatly appreciated. Also suggestions on how to swim the race. E.G. think of it in shorter segments of build, hold, sprint etc.
I'm 71 and like to break the distance into 100s or 200s.
Sometimes I'll do 18 x 100, but I usually need others doing it with me.
My favorite is 5 x 100, 4 x 100, 3 x 100, 2 x 100, 1 x 100. I can decrease the interval on each part or try to descend my swims.
I also like 2 x 100, 1 x 200. Do that 4 times. Sometimes I'll pull part with paddles and another part without paddles.
If I get the correct pace on the 100s, I have good carryover to a 1000 or 1650.
