If you practiced last week's drill (Breaststroke - Wall Pull), you should be ready for this week's breaststroke set.
Here's an election-day station workout where you get to choose Red State... or Blue State at every station.
IM 100s for a main set, but with only 3 strokes of fast fly (then switch to drill or freestyle to finish the fly length). The point is to get several chances to practice race-pace fly...and not to spend any time practicing slow-pace survival fly. The set targets those swimmers in our group who are going to nationals and need to practice race-pace fly for the 100 IM and for the 50 and 100 fly.
Was trying to push threshold in various ways today -- with overdistance 225s, with underwater swimming, with fast 25s on short rest, and with the tether.
Just a tough set that makes you hold things together (like cadence and fast hands) as you are experiencing the fatigue of a 200 race.
Here's a workout that will make you thankful for having a 20-yard pool rather than 25.
8 X 200 can be kinda boring, but we alternated one pull and one swim with fins (descend the fins), and this made the set more interesting and challenging. Swimmers were really CRANKING on the final 200. We modified the set for the intermediate and beginner lanes. Those headed to NEMSCY Champs next week did a separate tether set.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
