Full Spectrum Heart Rate Zone Set.  Starts Aerobic and goes Anerobic Quickly.  A Interval is a 1:17 descending to a :58 Pace.   B Interval is a 1:22 pace descending to a 1:04 pace.  The minute rest is to let everyone collect themselves and really nail the 500’s.  
This set really emphasizes front half speed, followed by a controlled back half effort.  Those with the best attitudes will nail this set!!

Swimmers will surprise themselves on this one.   If done intelligently, swimmers will get a lot of confidence and pride after this set.  [This set was completed 25 days out from peak competition.]

"Crack the Code" Aerobic Block

Here’s a creative way to break up the monotony of 40×100 or 20×200 aerobic blocks.

The Legend:
(1) 100 @ 1:30 [p500]
(2) 200 @ 2:30 [0 beat kick, 2 bk, 4 bk, 6 bk by 50]
(3) 300 @ 3:45 [Descend x100]
(4) 400 @ 5:00 [Neg Split x200]
The Code:
Rd1:  (1)    (2)    (3)    (4)
Rd 2: (2)  2x(1)   (4)    (3)
Rd 3: (3)    (4)   3x(1)  (2)
Rd 4: (4)    (3)     (2)   4x(1)

**This set paces on 1:15 for 100’s.  (1) is a spike to amp it up a bit.  Dolphin kicks and walls are a top priority.

Props for this set goes out to Carl Barr from Mariner Swim Club, as he came up with the concept.  This is now a staple set for Eagle Swim Team in Peak Season.  It’s great that it falls on Friday the 13th this year, just adds to the tears collected.

(Fly around #7 or #8 can be edited to single arm combos for those swimmers weaker in this stroke, to prevent shoulder injury and quality of the stroke)
… if it wasn’t Friday the 13th and you want more Breast and Free work, it could also be done this way
