MAIN SET: 600 + 200
8 X 75 with calculated descend down to race pace on the final 75
First 6 X 75 are on approx. 30 seconds rest (one BEEP of the Tempo Trainer in mode #2). On final 2 X 75, wait till heart rate falls below 100.
To determine your initial setting for the TT, choose your goal time for a 100 in your choice of stroke. In the example below, the goal time is 1:16 for 100 scy breast. Convert this time to seconds (77 seconds in our example) and divide by 4 (19 seconds in our example). This will be your final TT setting at the end of the set. For our INITIAL TT setting, add 7 seconds to your goal pace (in our example, it would be 19 + 7 = 26). On each 75, you will change the setting on the TT, taking it down by one second. So, you are doing a very controlled descend. The first 4 X 75 should feel VERY easy. The final four will get progressively tougher until you are all out on the final two from the blocks.
