This workout is the continuation of the week that started on Monday November 19. After a our Wednesday evening “Lactate” workout, we went back to an aerobic workout on Thursday. Our week this week (and many others) looks like this:
Aerobic (Monday), Active Rest (Tuesday), Fast Race Pace (Wednesday), Aerobic (Thursday), Kick and Speed (Friday), and either Aerobic or Active Rest (Saturday). Sunday is an optional day for Postgrads or a recovery day for everyone else.
This workout is pretty simple. We put in a good kicking set (75s fast — 4 on (110) to finish the set), then a pulling set with a mix of strokes (Pull Bouy only for the fly, optional paddles for the other strokes….and they can do a light balancing kick on Fly and Breast). Our IM Set was pretty tough — strong intervals for our group. This set was hard, and set them up nicely for the Saturday LCM set we did two days later. More on that to come (in a later post)!

Additional Comments
This workout, and the others in the series, are designed for our 18 and under athletes. A few postgrads do this type of work as well, but for the most part our Postgraduates do a different workout everyday — at a different time. Look back in the archives to see a few of our Postgraduate workouts, and you’ll see the difference.
