The Solution

Approximate Distance: 
3350
Approximate Time: 
1:30

We were all kind of tired today, but all wanted at least 3000 yards......while this couldn't really be considered distance, it was for those of did it.  No real intervals, just wanted to keep everything long and strong and strong and keep time between sets to a minimum. 

Warm up: 600 choice (mix of swim, stroke, kick)

=========================================

3 x 100's  Free OR IM  Fastest interval

50 Easy

200 Pull, 100 Kick, 200 IM (drill/swim by 50), 100 stroke  x  4

We did the above more or less IM order by full sets of 4 for stroke and kick

3350 Total yards

Sunday in Coolistan

Approximate Distance:

Approximate Time:

Sunday morning. 11:00 AM. I wake up to a strange feeling--I should swim. Something deep inside me is pulling me back though, arguing with me to stay in bed, forget about it, go back to sleep. I stare at the ceiling for a few more minutes, watching the fan blades spin slowly. Then it comes to me: If I am going to beat this feeling, I'm going to have to come up with a short workout that does everything.

Everything fast, that is.....

====================================

Warm up: 200 Swim; 200 Kick; 200 Pull
3X100 1:15
4X200 Swim; Pull; Swim; Pull
 

Now, work on turns....
(Do the following set twice. The point is to work on turns and really think about how you're hitting the wall, and how far you're coming off the wall.)

6X25 from middle of pool
