My workout for today was as follows:

1 x 400 yds - 1:00 rest
2 x 300 yds - 1:00 rest after each one
3 x 200 yds - 1:00 rest after each one
4 x 100 yds - :45 rest after each one
50 yds cool down

2,050 yds total

     Not too shabby ... increased the yardage, but what made the workout complete for me was those last 4 100's. I tried to increase each one and I ended up doign 1:27, 1:25, 1:23 and 1:20 for the last one. I was pretty much wiped off the map at that point so it was a great finish. Nothing like barely being able to lift yourself out of the pool. The sad thing is that being a former swimmer I know this is not all that difficult or strenuous, once you are in shape. I am just planning on increasing the yardage though until I am doing 3 to 4 thousands yds in an hours time frame. Once I am there then I will start working on speed and try to gear the workout's towards race like conditions. Doing drills with my head out of the water to be able to see where I am going, that type of stuff.
