Test Set for 100 Race
0 commentsStarting to gear up for a championship meet in mid December. The 8 X 75 breast at a controlled descend was the main set.
Breaststroke Kick/Swim Set Plus Tether
One of my favorite sets. You're going into the swims with leg fatigue and not much rest, but the Tempo Trainer doesn't let you take it easy. The tether 100s are to build confidence....
Breaststroke Pushing Threshold
Was trying to push threshold in various ways today -- with overdistance 225s, with underwater swimming, with fast 25s on short rest, and with the tether.
Fins Fins Fins
Wanted to work all the strokes today and give my knees a rest, so almost all of this practice is fins (and some Tempo Trainer).
Mini-Taper Breaststroke Set
Main focus is USMS nationals in 5 weeks, but this weekend is the local USMS championships, so a mini taper seemed like the right thing to do today.
Dolphin Kick and Breaststroke Tether Workout
Here's a workout that will make you thankful for having a 20-yard pool rather than 25.
Saturday Practice 20 X 100
Main set is 20 X 100. Lots of choice, and a chance to practice going fast.
Breaststroke Kick/Swim Set with Tempo Trainer
One of my favorite practices for breaststroke. You go into each of the swims with slight leg and aerobic fatigue, and have to maintain a steady, quick cadence for the entire swim.
