Subject: RE: swim workout question In general, if the workout wanted you to swim straight, they'd write it as 800 EBEH x25 (as in rotate easy, build, easy, hard each 25 ). The fact that it specifically splits it into 100s implies that you should be resting between reps. How long to rest is difficult to say without knowing your form; I'd probably do this set on 1:30 (averaging ~1:15, so 15 seconds rest ). The fact that you're swimming hard will get your HR up; and you have two easy laps to help recover. That's if you're training for longer stuff. If you wanted to focus more on speed, then you could take a longer rest, but make that hard lap 110%. Hard to say without seeing the rest of the workout. |
