3rd 25: First 10 strokes cycle burst
4th 25: First 12 strokes cycle burst
Try to HIDE YOUR EFFORT on the cycle bursts. Go for a high turnover and speed, but try to RELAX your shoulder and arm muscles at the same time. Make this easy, CONTROLLED speed.

What do you mean with: "Recover is 3 bobs between each 25."

Whats bobs?

Bobs are a relaxed form of controlled breathing. They're a measured way to get your breath back and your heart rate down between swims. Just hang onto the wall, take a relaxed long breath, sink your body and head under water and do a relaxed exhale. Come back up, take a breath, and repeat. Make it rhythmic and relaxed. For a set of short repeats, you might do 3 to 5 bobs after each repeat. For a set of 150s or 200s, you might take 5 to 10 bobs after each repeat. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking we should do BOBS as our drill of the week or as an article. So THANKS for your question! Hope this helps.
