I do not intend to do more than once per week. It hurts and I am trying to focus on technique, not thrashing and splashing the blue rinse breastrokers.
I'm picking one swim per week and focusing mainly on a 400m TT. Seems like others are doing 400m intervals and picking their fastest interval. One focused TT should be quicker than your fastest interval, but intervals are obviously a better training session.
I'd do a warmup swim them some technique work and a build set of something like 6x50m getting faster each time, rest for a couple of minutes then do the 400m TT. Afterwards i'd go back to either technique or a longer slow swim. Or maybe go to the diving pool and look like an idiot trying to dive...
Ive already swm 3x this week and neglected to understand you had to do a TT every week. Ive already identified that there is lane swimming at the local splash rectangle 4pm tomorrow and Sunday so I shall do the necessary.
Finally managed to do mine this week. 9:58 this morning. Thankfully I checked it before I got changed and left my watch at the pool. Trip back to see if some kind soul has handed it in later

Exhausted
Just for clarification purposes, are we meant to post a 400m time every week?
YES!
Yes we are .. but dont post every time you do one, wait til the end of the week and post your bestest
although I think the man said you dont have to do one each week
07:06 for me this week, not great. Did the TT then started TI drills, really wan't to crack this swimming milarkie.

B_Kins ... i use the same approach as you
just some of the others are wussess
Ooooh this is all getting a bit serious innit
Unless you are getting in to do one 400m TT and out again then they all become intervals dont they
I get in .. do an easy but building warm up
then have 2 goes at the 400TT
then a warm down focusing on a slow long stroke
Is it wrong to giggle at long slow stroke?
I need a holiday

Guess I had better get my hair wet before Sunday

I'm sure Will said you dont have too ... you just dont gain any points when you dont
FWIW my 400s are usually done as the first as a slow warm up, second is a TT and the 3rd, 4th + are all at consistent CSS
I've been ill so no time for me
I did do 8:06 on Tuesday so might as well use that.
My pool is closed for most of this week due to the paralympics so I may only have one opportunity and that had better be tomorrow I suppose !
8:54 pro-rated in today's tri
That did include a long run to T1 though.
How can a feckin run to T1 count ... I'll be adding in the time to dry between my toes next week
Shouldn't take too long, what with all that webbing.
Wasn't around yesterday ...
But

Finally managed to do mine this week. 9:58 this morning.
