nooooo - that was more of a performance test. We were to try & do all 500's about the same speed. This gives the lactate treshold according to our coach. (for each 100). I didn't sweat it, I just swam. Tried to accelerate on the last 3-400. Actually I just managed to keep it steady
It was less horrifying than a 1000m TT....
I'll have another one tonight to post.
When alone, I like to do:
500 easy
500 in breathing pyramid: 2-3-4-5-4-3-2-3-4-5, one lane each (do that twice if you're in a 25m pool)
500 (one lane easy, one lane hard)
500 easy
with about a minute rest in between each 500.




- are you training for an IM?
