Workouts and Inspiration from a lifelong swimmer Website: www.thelaneline.com Facebook Instagram
I wrote this set last week and put it in my back pocket for a day when it felt right. Tomorrow and Friday I have scheduling conflicts with my usual workout time and may not be able to get in, so I thought today was a good day for a high volume yardage challenge when I'd be forced to rest a day or two afterward. For the long swims, you should be getting lots of rest - over a minute or right at a minute until the 600, and then 15-30 sec on the 400/200. For the 100's, start out at an interval that feels comfortable to stay long and smooth. For the 5x100, you should plan to get about 5 sec rest and the 3x100, just make. Good luck!
