posting workouts has almost zero value to other readers//
Actually it is a great resource for the fishes to pinch a workout or particular set or two. This thread has historically been mostly ex swimmers, thus just the bare bones actual workouts, sometimes accompanied with times, and an occasional reason for the set. But you have come busting into the house now and want to learn all this new fangled stuff, which is fine. But I think you will have to continue to ask your specific questions, and of course you will get answers here. We pretty much know why everyone is doing such and such, and take it for granted if they don't ask questions, then it is just plain swimming as usual.
But of course every once in awhile someone posts up a video of a spectacular race with a fast time, and even then they get critiqued on the finer points, so not that we are above it, just not as excited about it as you are at the moment...
I love the idea about a virtual swim meet, think I may have even had it a long time ago. Hell, maybe we even did it and I forgot!!
SO 200IM, 100 free, and 50 fly this month, sounds good to me. Of course we will have to accommodate all the distance formats, LCM< SCM< and SCY, but us fishes know how to do that easy enough. Lets throw ages and sex into the results too, make it a bit more fun for comparisons...
Forgot to add, I agree with you that running workouts need to be purged from this thread, not sure how or why they creeped in..
