Subject: Question on 20 week IM program

I'm starting on the 20 week IM training program and the first day has the long swim.  My question is the Main section of the swim, it says:

Main: 1x1500 RPE 4 (alternate 1 x 1000) 

 

What's the "alternate 1 x 1000"  mean?

Thanks

It means if you don't want to go that far or are not ready for the distance you can just do 1,000 meters instead.

Think it means if you are not able to do 1500 straight it's OK to do 1000

DOH! I wasn't thinking of it that way.  Makes sense now. Much thanks
