Jun 1, 2019 – MESA – Senior Elite – IMma Hurt Ya

This workout was given to my team’s fastest 13-18 year olds and is only helpful if the swimmers are willing to absolutely WORK the 150’s.

The interval is designed for them to get rest so that they “send it” every repeat! If they aren’t sprinting the 150’s IM, they aren’t getting the hypoxic benefits of the set as well as the fatigue tolerance work that IM is based around. I typically start rounds over if I don’t get the proper effort on sets like this.
