- Time: 12m
- Distance: 400.00 yards
- The premise of the next several week are to incorporate freestyle into your swimming set. You will start by primarily using the breaststroke and the backstroke as your 'easy' stroke/can do-all-day' stroke.
- You will gradually add-in 25's of freestyle and taking away 25's of your 'rest' stroke. At the end of the plan, you will be doing 400 yards/meters of straight freestyle. We will also work on taking shorter and shorter rest breaks after every 25 yard or meters (typical length of pool).
- This workout I want you to do 75 yards/meters of your 'easy' stroke with 30 seconds of rest between 25's. (3x25 with 30 seconds rest between)
- Then do 25 of freestyle taking 60 seconds of rest (1x25 with 60 seconds rest after)
- Do another 75 of your 'easy' stroke with 30 seconds of rest between 25's. (3x25 with 30 seconds rest between)
- Then do 25 of freestyle taking 60 seconds of rest (1x25 with 60 seconds rest after)
- Repeat this two more times.
- Knowing that seconds = " and minutes = ' we can then rewrite this workout as:
- 3x25 easy stroke with 30" rest between
- 1x25 freestyle with 60" rest after
- 3x25 easy stroke with 30" rest between
- 1x25 freestyle with 60" rest after
- 3x25 easy stroke with 30" rest between
- 1x25 freestyle with 60" rest after
- 3x25 easy stroke with 30" rest between
- 1x25 freestyle with 60" rest after
