UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE ARE DOING

 

Senior prep, we want to make sure we all understand what we were trying to accomplish today at practice.

After a good warmup wit some long mix swims, pulling and kicking we went I to our big set for the day.

It was basically an IM set with 4x100 IM followed by 4x50 fast free.  We went through 4 rounds of this with each round finishing with either 2x50 kick fast or 25’s  kick fast.

As you noticed and we talked about the intervals started fast were some of you had trouble making it or barely make it.  Each segment of the round we increased the interval by 5 seconds.  

The problem we were having is that we want to get


the same effort on the last round as we got on the first round.  The slower interval does not signal us to slow it down, it’s meant to give us a little more recovery time in order to keep the effort high.  It is important that we all understand that so we are working together to make each of us better.


If we can all get together we have a better chance of everything coming together when the time is right.
