Various Topics on Swimming

.... ....

I've enjoyed reading some of RTK's, and other's, workouts recently.
Swimming mostly on your own is somehow easier when you know there's others
out there . So,Feeling alot better today (a little more regular
swimming for a couple weeks has helped alot) I thought I'd add some
thoughts now & then too.

For the first time this month a set got reevaluated midway and made harder
. Anyway thought I'd share - there's some thought another might find it
more interesting then a snippet from /dev/random. The general idea here
being a little general fitness & strength work similar to lifting sets of
30 to failure in the weight room. Intervals should be adjusted for fairly
short rest (4:1 'ish) at fairly high intensities (90-95% on the 100's)



(55:00/2100m)

200 fr/bk, 100br K

{100im PL @ 1:45
3x {100imo K @ 2:15 - fly,br,fr
{50 EZ @ 1:30

{100 PL @ 2:00 - fly,bk,br/fr
3x {100im K @ 2:00
{50 EZ @ 1:30

100 ch K
200 fr/bk w/ fast turns

With adjusted times, I plan to do this today. I like new ideas for
workouts. I especially like ones with simplified numbers. If I have a
partner, I generally introduce the plan with *today's workout is brought
to you by the number 5 (or 4 or whatever)* and then all the parts equal
that number. It makes it easier to remember and satisfies the insane
need for symmetry.
