This week my swim groups worked on their 100m reps, did a bit more sprinting and mixed pacing over a longer set.

This is a step on from last week, increasing the number of 100m reps on the tightest turn around and then finishing the set off with a best effort 100m rep. a tougher session and I’m not sure I’d push it any further than this with the group.

Having pushed the Tuesday and Wednesday groups I went a little easier with my Thursday swimmers. The main set alternates between easy and hard reps from 200m down to 50m. Still plenty of work there, but I gave comfortable rest intervals on this one to let them focus on good quality hard reps.
