1650 Pace Set - Blog Post

On Tuesday November 27, I had a group of athletes do a freestyle set.  Here's how it went:

10x: 150 Fast Free + 150 easy choice .....the whole 300 was on (4:00)

I put this up on the white board at the beginning of practice: 

The 150 Pace goals correlate pretty accurately with the 1650 paces (minus one second for the hand touch we did -- not going to the feet).  The 500 times were made up by me on the spot, and basically were there for the two athletes I had in the group who don't count the 1650 as one of their top 5 events.  This is a "mile pace" set, but the way I look at it is: if an athlete who swims the 100 and the 200 gets better at the mile -- in particular at the 18 and under age -- their 100 and 200 will get better as well.  Certainly I'm trying to motivate everyone in my portion of the training group on this day.
