Nice looking set but sorry I don't follow this bit, can you expand on it:"repeat times the above 900m times 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davem Posted January 14, 2014 Share I think I am going report all of you maniac swimmers for inflicting deliberate psychological pain on us middle of the packers. You don't need to make us feel any more average than we already are! Edited January 14, 2014 by davem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibruegge Posted January 14, 2014 Share my set: get pool cover off. slowly walk into cold water. Dive to make the pain go away quickly. feel zero gravity for a moment while under water. come up - grab beer. Sit on the step and relax. Repeat as many times as needed. breaker and davem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefield Posted January 14, 2014 Share I normally swim with a club, but they only start again in a week's time. So here is a half an hour set I did during the holidays to keep myself from going completely bad: 3 x 200m warmup, 10sec rest between6 x 100m free on 1:55, last length hard (I swim in a 25m pool)6 x 50m free on 55sec, first length hard6 x 25m free on 30sec, hard100m loosen Total distance 1750m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGR Posted January 14, 2014 Share I think I am going report all of you maniac swimmers for inflicting deliberate psychological pain on us middle of the packers. You don't need to make us feel any more average than we already are!The reverse of this is that feeling having half the field pass you on the bike ....

Kona Kula Posted January 14, 2014 Share These are great ideas for swim sets, but I agree pretty quick. If Lylo is doing those kinda times he must smoke the swims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluiper Posted January 15, 2014 Share Ja, some of these guys.... My arms start hurting just looking at some of these sets :/ I normally swim with a squad, but when I'm on my own I do one of the following: Set 1100m warm up20x100m coming in under 1:30, leaving on 2:00.200m cool down Set 2100m warm up6x500m coming in at 8:15-8:30, leaving on 9:30.200m cool down Very boring, I know, but when I'm on my own I keep losing track of complicated sets, especially when I get tired. I'll step up the sets when I get closer to full IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
