Main Set Wednesday - Kick!

Inspired by Barbara's recent kick set, we also decided to overload the legs just a bit.  Enjoy (the walk home).

If you're going to really overload the legs to help you swim faster, I do encourage the use of a kick board.  While many people will shun boards, they allow for better oxygen intake, which allows for a higher effort level, and a higher intensity of the legs.  If you're worried about body position, then maybe you should focus on that a bit more while you're swimming. ;)  15 minutes on a board isn't going to throw it all off.

Main Set (short course yards:
 - 4 x 50 kick on 1:00
 - 1 x 200 swim - smooth and relaxed
 - 4 x 100 kick on 2:00
 - 1 x 200 swim - smooth and relaxed
 - 8 x 50 kick on 1:00 - 3 ALL OUT FAST - 1 easy (repeat)
 - 1 x 200 swim - smooth and relaxed
 - 16 x 25 on :45 - Odds fast - Evens easy - Lots of rest, so SUPER HIGH INTENSITY on the fast ones.
 - 1 x 200 swim - smooth and relaxed

Start the set off loosening and warming up the legs... finish the set with very high intensity.
