Extreme Veteran  483   Austin, TX |  Subject: How Does This Work - 4 x 50m Freestyle Swim, leave on 01:16 / 50mI'm planning on a nice 1300m workout today and saw this in my swim plan: 4 x 50m Freestyle Swim, leave on 01:16 / 50m I know I'll be doing 4 sets of 50 meters, and the description says to "start every 50m set on the defined time period. The departure time combines your swimming target time and rest time, so the faster you go the more rest you will have. Conversely, the slower you swim, the less rest time you will have." Does this mean I have 1:16 to finish the 50m? So if I finish the 50m in 1:04, I have 12 seconds to rest? -Joel |

Why not just 1:15.... 1:16 and your doing all kinds of goofy math to figure out each send off. Whereas 1:15 your always sending off :15,:30,:45,:60

Right... what you said! I always do 50m's on the 1:00. Easy to go at the top/bottom each time. 1:16? I would never figure that one out. |

| Member 195 Akron, OH | Subject: RE: How Does This Work - 4 x 50m Freestyle Swim, leave on 01:16 / 50m Bet it's from swimplan.com or something like that. You put in your times and it calculates the workouts based on that. I don't think it rounds to easy to calculate numbers, but that's what I do when it says 100s leaving on 1:33, etc. I leave on the 1:30. I like the workouts. For someone with no competitive swimming background and no coach to make me workouts, it adds some nice variety. |

No, no one can do a 200 yard or meter free on 1:16. But I agree with everyone. Change it to 1:15....likely was a typo. |
