This workout was designed for about 5-7 days after the end of our Championship season. Our Breaststrokers really need to work on their distance per Kick (we have done a poor job with this aspect of training this spring in my opinion).
So, the main deal is the Breaststroke Kick set, plus an active rest set to swim fast since we haven’t gone fast for a week or so.
I don’t believe in piling on the aerobic at this time of year, without keeping the sharp, crisp swimming going as well. We may do a bit more aerobic work and kicking than usual (in terms of workout percentages), but we do make sure to stay in touch with a racing stroke (although just a bit less than normal during the final weeks in August after the Championship meets).
