Sometimes when you hit the water for training you may lack some motivation to put the time in. When that happens it’s good to have a swim set that you enjoy and can fall back on. Of course, this only works if you have control of your own workouts. Sometimes, however, you may be feeling totally out to lunch and can’t stomach the 1500m TT that coach has on tap for the day. Well, rather than say no to the pool, fall back on your old standby and get some time in.
Here’s our favorite. All on no rest, keep going through each 200. You pick the intensity:
200m Kick
200m Swim
200m Pull
200m Pull/Paddle
200 meters goes by super quickly, then you get to switch up the focus a bit. You’ll be surprised how quickly you get through 800 meters. Go through it 2 or 3 times and you’ve got yourself a very decent set.
