This was a fun way to end practice. Just make sure you turn off or block the pace clocks.
Speed and The Kitchen Sink. Ryan Woodruff, Lynchburg YMCA.
3 MILES: Three Sets. Each one is a 1650.
150s Madness. Ryan Woodruff, Lynchburg YMCA. We performed this set in a 25m pool. The format is similar to my most recent other post, with a more aerobic focus. The intervals stay the same for each part, with the quantities at each interval shifting slightly. The effect is a set that gets steadily a bit harder, with the peak intensity coming in the final 4 x 150 at the end. FPA = Fastest Possible Average.
