-2 each at 2:00, 1:50, 1:40
-3 each at 2:00, 1:50, 1:40
after last swim, wait till next min., then begin set #3
During this set I try to hold the same time for each swim, the
goal time I use is one which I get from doing a 2000 swim
for time and taking the average time for a 150. I believe this
provides a good pace for high level aerobic training

-# 3: alternate Cruise/Hard by 75/50 for a 500 total.
-# 4: Fast all-out.
|
all 500's are on 7:00
The idea of this set is to use a form of training I call speed play
or a locomotive. The longer rest intervals allow higher heart rates
but still maintain an aerobic nature. At least that is how it feels
to me.
|
|
Warm-Down
|
Usually at least a 300, more if possible. I try to do many different
strokes as well.
|
This could be the most important set I do every workout.
