When fish say "pull" does that mean wih pb only or pb+paddles?

Asking for a friend.

There's not much consistency here. When I say "pull" it means buoy only, if using paddles I'll specify that. But other folks, even within my own masters team, throw on paddles virtually every time there's a pull set, so for them "pull" means with pb+paddles.

That's what happens when you don't try and do the same time for 25x100's all the time!! Welcome to swimming, where one swim time trumps a 100 slower ones...You have to train fast to race fast, you were training for a 1650. Descend sets like this are what get you a faster 100..

I'm getting it.... Slowly.

I might get it faster if you fishes didn't just sit around laughing at the dumbass for a year.

/pink

You could told me I was being stupid. I probably would have listened... I mean I did when you said to focus on the breakout---Which was a huge help. Funny how just not slowing down makes things easier!

:-)

Tomorrow is 25s day. Looking forward to it. But, I have no idea what time to aim for. As fast as I can, I guess. Sub-18 would be cool.

And... Of course the start of the 100/100... Which I was too stupid to avoid.

Thanks David! I still can't quite wait to inhale until the second stroke cycle.... But, I'm paying a ton of attention to the streamline, breakout, and the rhythm of that first cycle which sets up the rest of each length. As you know, it makes a huge difference.

If I'm gonna wear some cool mirrored swedes, I gotta BE fast... Not just look like it until I hit the water. :o)

I had so much fun on Thurday's descending all IM set that I repeated it on Friday.

I used to do a track running descending set that went like this

3200m tempo
100m jog

1600m @5K race pace
100m jog

800m @ mile race pace
100 jog

400m @ as fast as I could go
100m jog

200m @ as fast as I could go
100m jog

100m @ EMPTY THE TANK

This used to be a fun 6000m+ track workout covering all race paces. Doing the descending 800m IM, 400m IM, 200m IM, 100m IM kind of mapped to durations of the track workouts and mentally it broke down that way too. I am guessing that even though I am not doing a lot of biking, if I put down a few weeks, my bike FTP will be really high with all this cardio load in the water.

I guess I'm doing this 100/100/100 thing. But, I'm saying 1000y counts as a swim, as I don't want to compromise my quality swim days.

Usrpt 25s today.

WU: 4x100 desc (30s) 1:40/35/30/28

MS: 30x25 usrpt @ 18.8 (1:15 pace) failed at #9, #18, #26

Finished remainder on 30s interval (23s).

CD: 100ez

Today was about 3/4s faster than last week. I had a few at a sub 1:10 pace.

1/1/1

I don't think you will compromise your quality swim days whether you swim 1000 yards or 4000 yards in a day. If you see the fish around here talking, they are doing 3000-4000 during a short course swim meet in between warmups and cooldowns and events. Once your base is high enough it's doable. I think your quality of swims are hurt more by how much biking or running you do than swimming. Let's say you swim 3000m today or 12K today and need to do a hard 4000m tomorrow, the run will likely have more of a negative impact on the next day swim.

I agree with your general point. But...

I just smashed myself in November swimming 12 out of 14 days and 19 of the first 23. My swim power dove off a cliff the last 3 days of that stint. I swam too hard, too long, too often. I was a bit overreached.

Second, I'm doing the 100/100, too... So, the running effect will be in the background, also.

Maybe by the end of the 100/100/100 my swim base will be there. That would be kinda the point.

Maybe I'll take the same tack as the runs 1000+2000 = 2x1500.

OK after today's long swim session (a bit over 2 hours and 6400m), I'm at 1160km for the year. There are 15 days left in the year so finally after being waaaay behind my target on account of being run over by a bus and falling behind on 6 weeks mid year, I'm actually finally "ahead". I only need to do 40k of swimming in 15 days so really, I can take 5 days off from the pool if I want (but I doubt I will, because I am addicted to being there daily) and even then I still only need to do 10x4000m sessions. It's been tough accrueing the distance since I am doing so much IM swimming, but I'm knocking it off a length at a time!

5000 today, mixed, boring bag of swim, swim with snorkel, paddles...

Only 16,600m until I hit 1000k or 1,000,000m on the year. I'm glad I was able to front-load lots of that distance in the spring and summer, with several 7000-10,000m long course workouts.

I'm sure I used to do at least 2500-3000k per year when I was in HS and College. But, that was half a lifetime ago.

Another dumb idea from Dev. I made the mistake of complaining in the grievance thread that the timing for the 100/100 sucked because I'm in the middle of a swim block. Dev (0f course) suggested that I do 100 swims AND 100 runs. I don't really see how that addressed my complaint... But, I seem to have been dumb enough to take the bait. So here we are... 100 swims /100 runs /100 days.

Day 3. Perfect record so far.

50s day:

325 straight
25ez

30x50 usrpt @42s, failed at 14, 23, 27.

Did last 2 at 47s with 15s rest.

100ez.

3/3/3

You're a star. So the 100 swims started the 15th too? I suppose I can track that as well and keep you company. I'm 3/3 run and 2/3 swim.

Star? Ha! We'll see on March 24th.

Yes, started the 15th. Next week is gonna be bad for the swim. No water access from 23-27. And our anniversary is the 28th....might not be wise that day either.

I could stake stretch chords with me and get something in...i suppose.
