Warm up:
300 choice, easy

4 x 25 - 1 each stroke, build each length
Main:
3 x 200 - holding the best pace you can keep for all 3 of the 200’s - pick 1 stroke and keep with it - this will be very hard, but you can do it - :1:00 rest after each
100 easy kick with kickboard (no fins)
3 x 100 - holding the best pace you can keep for all 3 of the 100’s - again, pick just 1 stroke - :1:00 rest after each
100 easy kick with kickboard (no fins)
8 x 25 mix up the strokes you do on these.
Odds: build up your speed,
Evens: sprint as hard as you can.
All should have a very fast finish - :30 rest
1,800 yards TOTAL
This is a super challenging workout designed to make you aware of your ability to hold an even but speedy pace. You can’t start out too fast, or you’ll fall apart. However, you also can’t start out too slow or you will have too much left in the tank when you finish. Be very conscious of your finish times when you are completing this workout. Swim smart!
