GoSwim GoldSwimming Set of the Week - May 3, 2013
0 commentsHow's your sense of pace at 100s and 200s? This week's set asks swimmers to do some descend work and negative-split work...and sometimes both.
Main Set Tuesday - Negative Splits & Descends
Barbara's masters team has been focusing on negative-splitting their 100s and 200s for the past month. Here's what they did today, with a modified version for the "beginner" lanes.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 1, 2013
Our Set of the Week incorporates our Drill of the Week. Think it looks too easy? Make sure you do it with NO FINS.
Main Set Monday - Alternating Smooth & Challenging
Getting in some early week work with crowded lanes.
Main Set Monday - Challenging Speed
Descending 5 x 50's gives you the goal time... next you'll have to hold that a bit longer than one.
Swimming Set of the Week - January 4, 2013
This week's set starts out very easy, and ends up being very hard.
Main Set Wednesday - Descending 100's
The intervals get faster as the reps get higher. A good way to challenge your swimmers.
Main Set Saturday - Faster Faster 100s
Here's a long set that is as difficult, or as easy as you want to make it. With an increasing interval, it's important to continue to push the performance envelope further and further.
Main Set Thursday - 200s Working Pace
Following the theme of controlled descends this week, Barbara's team applied the concept to some 200s.
Main Set Thursday - Logical Descend
Learning pace is more than guessing, it's about feeling how the water moves passed your body at specific speeds. Here's a practice that inspires to teach those feelings.
Swimming Set of the Week - December 7, 2012
This week's set is inspired by our Flip-Turn Drill of the Week, and by Glenn's flip-turn set. This was the week's killer set for the masters team coached by Barbara. Careful what you eat before practice....
