Greetin's, y'all! Hoping someone here can help. I miss the workouts in threads where coaches could respond to questions. Can someone help me understand how to interpret this?
"20X50 @ :50 1,2,3,4,5 Holding P500, with 1 EZ recovery after each"
There are similar sequences in the main set with different counts, intervals, and pacing. But I'm sure if I decipher this one, I'll understand.
It specifies 1-5 at 500 pace. "With EZ recovery after each" So does that mean:
1 - 500 pace
2 - EZ
3 - 500
4 - EZ
..........10 - EZ?
If so, that only gets me through half the sequence. What do I do with the others?
It could mean
1 - 500
2 - 500
3 - 500
4 - 500
5 - 500
6 - EZ
WHich would be sensible that you'd repeat that sequence. But that doesn't add up to 20 reps, it adds up to either 18 or 24. And the total distance for the main set is consistent with it only being 20 reps.
Similar things happen at other paces and intervals, e.g.
14X50 @ 1:00 1, 2, 3, 4 at 200P, EZ recovery after each.
9X50 @ 1:10, 1, 2, 3 at 100+1, EZ recovery after each
5X50 @ 1:20 1, 2 at 100, EZ recovery
Note there are 200's between each set of 50. Total distance is 3000 yards, which the reps all add up to, so it can't be that there is supposed to be an EZ that isn't calculated.
Sorry I'm sure this is a basic question, I'm just not sure what to do with it.
