Workout of the Week 12/22

How about a swim workout? In my opinion this set goes by quick with the most difficult part being keeping track of the times in your head.

To start chose an interval that you can just make with 2 or 3 seconds rest for 25 yards. You will gain rest progressively as you add distance while still maintaining the original interval from the 25 at the start.

For the example below we will say 20 seconds allows you to complete 25 yards with 3 seconds rest. Just add in your time and give it a try.

25 on :20 seconds
50 on :40 seconds
75 on :60 seconds
100 on :80 seconds
125 on :100 seconds
150 on :120 seconds
175 on :140 seconds
200 on :160 seconds
225 on :180 seconds
250 on :200 seconds
250 on :200 seconds
225 on :180 seconds
200 on :160 seconds
175 on :140 seconds
150 on :120 seconds
125 on :100 seconds
100 on :80 seconds
75 on :60 seconds
50 on :40 seconds
25 on :20 seconds

The total distance for this as a main set would be 2750, you can add or subtract to meet the distance you are comfortable with. Give it a try, it is a bit challenging but goes quick.

Happy Holidays and looking forward to another great year from all the Endure It! athletes.
