Notes: the first swim's (100-400) should be done at a moderate effort with your primary concern of Distance per Stroke and maintaining stroke count, especially up to the 400.

Notes: A good day for the legs. the 100-150-200's are all kick with a board with competitive turns holding best avg/effort. The 25's are all done w/o a board and underwater as much as possible. The last 3 rounds of 3 X 100's are best avg. w/ a sendoff pattern that will tighten the screws on the rest as you go. The Legs are the best source of propulsion! You got to be in shape to take advantage of them.

The IM/stroke sendoff should stay the same on every round, while you maintain your effort and the FR sendoff get's slower so your average can get faster as you go through the set.

2 Minutes - middle minute BEST sustained effort (1st/last :30 EZ but keep moving)
3 Minutes - alt. 25 FAST surface kick, w/ 25 deep, big kick w/ board

Notes: a little outside the box thinking in terms of creating the set, but it should be a very effective workout for the legs. Make sure you know what is coming and how it plays out, I want you moving from one thing to the next. The main set takes 36 minutes. Here are some explanations for some of the terms:
  • FAST surface kick - with a kick board, flutter kick feet at surface, fast tempo
  • Deep, big kick - with a kick board, deep, big kick (exaggerated) no splash
  • BLAST = explosive, all out, powerfull, loud
  • Vertical Board = hold kick board vertical so that you create resistance

Endurance

Warmup
10 minute dry, dynamic warmup
300 loosen
8 X 75 @ :15R Pull, fewest strokes

Main Set
4 X 100 IM @ 1:30-45
4 X 100 Kick @ 1:30-45
4 X 100 FR @ 1:15-30
50 EZ @ 2:00
3 X 100 IM @ 1:30-45
3 X 100 Kick @ 1:30-45
3 X 100 FR @ 1:15-30
50 EZ @ 2:00
2 X 100 IM @ 1:30-45
2 X 100 Kick @ 1:30-45
2 X 100 FR @ 1:15-30

Notes: Navigate your way through some IM's, Kicking and some FR, pick sendoff's before you start and keep them the same from start to finish. Sendoff's should give you 10-15R and then maintain your effort from start to finish with HR at 25 or a little above.

A couple options and sorry about the missed workout yesterday

Warmup
10 minutes of dry, dynamic warmup
300 Loosen
4 X 125 Indy IM @ :15R (middle 25 kick)

Main Sets
Sprint

3 rounds: 1st Kick, 2nd FR, 3rd Stroke
50 + 25 @ 1:15/45
50 + 2 X 25 @ 1:15/30
50 + 3 X 25 @ 1:15/25
*50's are at P200+2, 25's are P100 or better
3 X [50 + 25] @ 45
*50's are 2nd 50 of 100, 25's are EZ w/ fewest strokes

Notes: Great set for some fast swimming on a Friday, obviously you won't have P200 for Kick, but match that effort

Mid-D+

3 rounds, 1st FR, 2nd Stroke or Kick, 3rd w/ fins/paddles
100 + 50 @ 1:20/50
100 + 2 X 50 @ 1:20/45
100 + 3 X 50 @ 1:20/40
*100 is P500 + 3, 50's are P200 or better
3 X [100 + 50] @ 1:20
*100's are P500, 50's are EZ w/ fewest strokes

Notes: Same idea as sprint, just geared toward different event list

Endurance - Legs

Warmup
10 minutes of dry, dynamic warmup
300 Loosen
8 X 75 K/S @ :15R
4 - 25K/50S, 4 50K/25S, descend the kicks 1-4

Main Set
18 X 25 @ 30 FAST Kick every 3rd, fewest strokes on the swim
4 X 100 Kick @ 1:30-45 (best. avg. on fastest interval)
18 X 25 @ 30 2 FAST Kick, 1 Swim w/ fewest strokes
5 X 100 Kick @ 1:30-45 (best. avg. on fastest interval)
18 X 25 @ 30 FAST Kick 2 underwater, 2 with a board
6 X 100 Choice of IM/FR/Stroke @ 1:10-30 (best avg. on fastest interval)

Notes: Kick progression which starts with some fast 25 kicks mixed with some distance per stroke swimming (value your body line). Plenty of opportunity to do some underwater kicking and then some good old fashion 100's kick and swim on your fastest intervals. Intervals should provide 10-15 seconds rest for best results.

Fast/EZ

Warmup
10 minutes of dry, dynamic stretching
300 Loosen
12 X 50 @ 55
Odd - done as 2 X 25's w/ :05R, emphasize leaving wall with force
Even - descend 1st 25 2-4-6, and 8-10-12, 2nd 25 double arm back

Main Set
10 X 25 @ 30 FAST! Best Avg.!
5 X 50 @ 60 EZ, Fewest Strokes
6 X 50 @ 40 FAST! Best Avg.!
4 X 50 @ 60 EZ, Fewest Strokes!
3 X 75 @ 60 FAST! Best Avg.!
3 X 50 @ 60 EZ, Fewest Strokes!
6 X 50 @ 40 FAST! Best Avg.!
4 X 50 @ 60 EZ, Fewest Strokes!
10 X 25 @ 30 FAST! Best Avg.!
5 X 50 @ 60 EZ, Fewest Strokes

3 X 100 @ 5:00
*Distance option = 3 X 300 @ 5:00

Notes: Great Fast/EZ Pattern that starts as a equal work to rest ratio which is Blue for those of you who like to use the color system. The Big Finish goes to Purple which is 4+:1 work to rest ratio. YOu should be thinking of P200 or faster on the fast! Don't get sloppy on the EZ, stretch your stroke out and keep your body line. You can choose to swim stroke or an IM pattern or even kick this set.

Endurance

Warmup
10 minutes of dry dynamic stretching
300 Loosen
300 Pull, scull every 3rd 25
300 Kick every 3rd, descend 25's Kick

Main Set
6 X [6 X 100] @ 1:30
Rd. 1 = K/S, IM, K/S, IM, K/S, FAST FR
Rd. 2 = K/S, IM, 2 X FAST FR, K/S, IM
Rd. 3 = FAST FR, K/S, FAST FR, IM, FAST FR, K/S
Rd. 4 = 2 X FAST FR, K/S, IM, 2 X FAST FR
Rd. 5 = 3 X K/S + 3 X IM Desc. 1-3
Rd. 6 = FAST FR - Best Avg.

Notes: A little intimidating to look at, but there is a pattern. The goal is to continue to change the way you move through the water as well as control your effort. You will rotate through K/S (by 50), IM, and Fast FR. The Fast FR accumulates as you go through each round. The K/S and IM is steady until round 5 in which you are asked to descend.
