This workout is one of my favorites. A bit of history on it: I had a training group one year that was able to practice 90 minutes per day. We had no more time than that!

Jul 26, 2014 – Podium Swim Club – Anaerobic Threshold
We wanted to work on anaerobic threshold a bit more - really focusing on lactic acid tolerance. The main set is built into two rounds with short rest intervals, but shrinking those intervals in the 2nd round. This is a high quality set, with a good amount of volume. Send-offs are based on the base 100 times of the athletes . . .

Jul 15, 2014 – Podium Swim Club – Speed & VO2max
This set was prescribe earlier this week and is purely speed focused. Not speed endurance, or threshold, but VO2max efforts.
T2 Aquatics – Modified Pace Workout
This is a workout we will give some of our sprint-oriented, veteran athletes this week. We are coming off a meet and gearing up for the end of season races.
T2 Aquatics – Breaststroke Stroke Count Active Rest
We have spent a good amount of time on Breaststroke Swimming at certain stroke rates (counts).
One of our sets we’ve done leading into this one is 10×100 (2) at 6 strokes per length (some athletes take more strokes depending on their racing stroke rate).
Cooper City Cyclones – Favorite Sprint Workout
This is one of our Senior Groups favorite lactate tolerance / sprint workouts. The intervals in this workout are stretched a little to allow a sort of “Active Recovery” and to push to muscle fatigue by swimming the main set as a sprint set followed by a short drill set while (hopefully) the muscles are fatigued to near lactate peak.
Jul 2, 2014 – Podium Swim Club – Threshold / Race-Specific Speed Enurance
I built this set for my triathletes (a couple of my elites in particular) that need to work on maintaining their pace in the back half of the swim during their races.
Mar 14, 2014 – Haddington and District ASC
Aerobic individual medley intermediate level swim workout.
Jun 19, 2014 – Podium Swim Club – Threshold Work
The workout that was prescribed for my elite triathletes on this day was designed to be anaerobic in nature . . .

Jun 18, 2014 – T2 Aquatics – 200 Pace
This is a workout we did last week. We had a mid-season meet two days after this; I was looking for a set of three 50s at 200 pace to finish each round of the main series.
