Determining Cruise interval for meters empirically, with Chris
Warm up:
600 choice
(600/600)
drill set:
4×200
odds: 50 kick/50 drill
Drill is either single arm or rhythm drill
evens: 50 breathe to the left/50 breathe to the right/50 breathe every 3rd stroke/50 your normal breathing pattern.
The purpose of this drill set is to get a sense of the left side/right side balance of your stroke, and to work on symmetry in your stroke rhythm.
(800/1400)
Pre-main set:
6×150 on cruise+10 sec
descend 1-3, 4-6
(900/2300)
main set:
1×1000 with no gear. No fins, no paddles and no pull buoy.
Get your time and divide it by 10. That will be our cruise interval for the rest of the set. The odds are that you’ve sorted it out pretty well by now. this way of determining cruise interval provides confirmation that you’ve either got it right, or if you need to make some adjustments.
1×500 on cruise

1×200 on cruise

(2500/4800)
Last set:

(200/5000)
