Workout of The Day



I figured I would drop some workouts here on the blog for those that might need a little variety or as a window into some of the sessions the TTE Athletes are doing.

The following swim session's Main Set was one I did as part of a group workout on Monday. I liked it so much I adapted and used it for my squad at swim practice today.

How I swam it:

Warm Up (long)

300ez / 4x75 as 25 scull-50free / 6x50 alt 1 build- 1 ez / 400 as 25 kick (stroke order) - 25 free / 100 EZ

Main Set: (Courtesy of Nicole Carter)

4 x (200-100-4x25) ... continuous on rest given below
* 200 moderate pace (send off to get you 20sec rest)
* 100 IM (use a send off the gets you about 5sec rest)
* 4 x 25 Fast / Max Sustainable on 1min
THEN Main Set Part 2
* 400 paddles / band on ankles / buoy (focus on long stroke) ... rest 20sec
* 8 x 50 paddles (alt 1 strong / 1 easy ("""""") @ 10sec rest

WARM DOWN
8 x 25 easy mixed stroke
++++
If time/endurance is an issue build your own session around the main set of 1600 meters so that warm up / main set / warm down gets you in the 3000 range. That 1600 meter main ste is a sneaky one ;-0 ... ENJOY
