With the problems I’ve had over the last few months I’ve dropped things back a bit and this is now my current set:
- 400m f/c warm-up
- 18 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 90s
- five minutes rest
- 18 x 25m f/c, target time 20s, turnaround 60s
- 200m swim down
The focus of the second 25m set is mostly on arm speed whilst maintaining technique.
It’s not going particularly well though. I was doing much better than this six months ago.
Today I managed fourteen reps of the 50m set before my first fail, then completed the set. That left me very tired for the second part of the set though and I only managed eight reps before failing for the third time and stopping the set.
