I'm not sure where it originated, but I got it from a Youtube video. Click on the "MS" in my post for the video. Very few workouts I do originate with me...I used to attribute them properly but got tired of the "That's not a Kredich workout...he got it from..."

Yeah that's the one I saw come across my YouTube feed. Though it was Eddie cuz I saw another Eddie video around the same time, got confused and mixed the 2

Tried this today -- super set. And really great for kids -- you're always racing against yourself.

Some ideas about the set if you're coaching:

• Good to try as a fitness test for a kids team -- beginning and end of season?
• If I were doing this solo again, I might try to hold at my last 'failure' -- keep (let's say) :29 as a sendoff for a few more reps, OR do the set as a ladder, working backwards after 'failure' so the sendoff creeps back towards :01.
• Start the set on the hour (or 10 mins, or 20 mins): that way each sendoff's minute and second correspond: 1:01, 2:02, 3:03, 4: 04.... Easy to keep track of that way.

I bet you're a fun coach. Thanks for sharing this set.

Favorite swim set: just get it over with. Efficiency!
- 50 warm up or whatever warm up floats your boat
- 1650 or 1500M time trial
- track your times at each 500
- listen to the water; it sounds different when you are swimming faster
- descend your next 500's
- if doing a 1650, sprint the last 150 (ie, kick!)
- warm down and get out of the pool. 1700-2000 max yardage.

I will promise you that if you do this once/month over the course of ~ 3 months, your mile swim time will drop markedly.
The other key thing is it trains your body/mind for race conditions. You get to know when you are 1/3 done, 2/3rds done and, as a result, how to apply more speed as you progress through a race.
The fast kick at the end also simulates race conditions.

at the moment:
no warmup; 2000 on time; 1000 pullbuoy to cool down

no warmup; 2000 on time; 1000 pullbuoy to cool down

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Off-topic: Love that film, especially this sequence:

On-topic: after having given up a bit an improvement in swimming by only swimming 2-3 times a week with a total of 4 km or so per week, I ended up this July with a 1:42 swim in IM Austria (wetsuit not allowed). As a result I sat like a wet bag of trash on my bike and it was horrible.
So after analyzing this and after a tip from someone I decided to add days with long intervals as the one I posted, not to get quicker but at least to sit less exhausted on the bike.

In the following Ironman (known generally as the back door brag one) I noticed the changed training although I had a bad day that day (1:26). In the training-swim the week before I did 1:18 though which I would never have succeeded without the changed training.

In the beginning these intervals were horrible but after some of those it became more comfortable and that's why they are now actually my preferred (on other days I do things like 40*50).
So now I do about 8 or 9 km a week.
