Darren Miller during 2012 END-WET (27 mile river swim). The event is my swim goal for 2013. |
But i'm getting ahead of myself - this post will focus on the three different 10 minute swim workouts that currently form my three week rotation. I'll do one workout each monday afternoon, starting them over once i've hit em all, and always trying (but not always succeeding) to improve my performance from the identical workout three weeks prior. After 12 weeks (4 cycles), i intend to change the interval schemes a bit to keep from stagnating.
- Workout 1 (short intervals): Main set - 6 x 50 yards, @ 35 sec; leaving every 45 sec.
- Min 0-3:00 - 200 yd warm-up/cruising tempo
- Min 3:00-3:30 - rest
- Min 3:30-8:00 - Main set
- Min 8:00 - 8:30 - rest
- Min 8:30-10:00 - 100 yd warm down/cruising tempo
- Total - 10 min, 600 yards
- Workout 2 (med intervals): Main set - 3 x 200 yds, @ 2:30 - 2:35, leaving every 3:00
- Min 0-9 - main set
- Min 9-10 - 50 yard warm down
- Total - 10 min, 650 yards
- Workout 3 (single interval): Main set - 500 yard time trial
- Min 0-1:30 - 100 yd warm up, cruising tempo
- Min 1:30-2:30 rest
- Min 2:30 - 9+ 500 yd time trial (usually takes between 6:30 - 6:40
- Min 9:0-10:00 Warm down
- Total - 10 min, 650 yards
