Determining today’s cruise interval empirically, with Chris, Misa and Kate
warm up:
600 choice
(600/600)
drill set:
4×100 free
odds: 50 kick/50 swim
evens: 50 single arm drill/50 swim
(400/1000)
main set:
Do one part without any pulling gear or fins. You’re free to use any gear you want on the other part.
1×1000, get your time
Take a minute to do some math. Take your total time and divide it by 10. If necessary, round the result up to the next time that ends in 0 or 5. That will be your cruise interval for the day.
10×100 on that cruise interval
break for an extra 15 seconds every 3rd one if needed. The sneaky secret part of this set is that if you use gear on the straight 1000, your empirically determined cruise interval will be faster than expected. If you think about it, if you do the 1000 without gear, your 10x100s will be on an easier interval.
(2000/3000)

200 easy
(200/3200)
