We did 6,400 Long Course Meters on Thursday with a main set of 20x100's with an decreasing interval every four 100's. Its tough to explain but a great set, and very challenging. I was the only person to do a stroke other than freestyle. The intervals began at 1:45, decreasing each time through. It looks like this:
Round 1 (1:45, 1:40, 1:35, 1:30)
Round 2 (1:40, 1:35, 1:30, 1:25)
Round 3 (1:35, 1:30, 1:25, 1:20)
Round 4 (1:30, 1:25, 1:20, 1:15)
Round 5 (1:25, 1:20, 1:15, 1:10)
I feel that I swam really well. I was very challenged toward the end of the set. The last 3 intervals were 1:20, 1:15 and 1:10. Unfortunately I missed the last two sendoffs. I was totally done but I did my best. It felt good to be back in the pool, get some exercise and release. I also did an Arms and Shoulders workout via P90X. Due to the meet at EMU this weekend, we could only get in 5,000 meters today. It certainly wasn't the most difficult workout I've ever done. Seemed more like a moderate Friday workout. I think we all appreciated it. I'll swim on Saturday and take Sunday off swimming, but do my workouts each day with P90X.
