I don't train with a club ( i found they took teh enjoyment out i don't like being yelled at)- so i reley on my (not always very determined)determinantion which means i have to come up with my own sets.....and i'm starting to get bored.....I'm looking to get a faster time for 5K (sub 1.30), but also a faster time for shorter distances (100 = 1.25).
i thought it would be nice to share ideas whats fun/dull works/doesn't
The kind of things i do are (all front crawl)
10x100 on 2mins
10x50 on 1 min
25 on 30
50 on 60
100 on 120
50 on 60
25 on 30
times 2 or 4 or until i get bored.
varying numbes of lenghts of pull with focus on breathing (i'm crap at breathing on the left) or catch up
after that i start to run out of inspiration.
And i can't seem to count beyond about 12 so trying to time myself over long distances is hard i know you can get lap counter tings thou)
any thoughts would be great
cheers

also the 10 x 50 you can bring down to going on 50 or 55.
if you're going to do that set twice do the first one on the tighter times maybe?
as for timing over long distances I'm ok to count to 20, but for some reason only if i count in 5's. dunno why, i think everyone is different on that front. To bring your 5k time down you'd benefit from doing sets of 400's etc.
New concept in swimming training :- Stay off the bottom of the pool when trying freestyle.
