Workouts 8/17 - 8/21 reset your base pace
DISTANCE
The time is right to test your progress. It would be a good idea to do workout N
umber One
again to reset your training base rate, DP. The goal is to cover more yards in t
he 30 minute
swim than you did the first time and then find your average pace per 100 yards t
o use as your default interval.

You will work your legs to tire them and then not rely on them for any propulsio
n in the swims.
Let them drag along behind you relaxed and rocking gently with the hips but not
wide or wobbly,
and only use them for kicking in and out of the turns. This teaches you how to u
se them only as a throttle when needed in long swims.

Workout number one

IMPORTANT!
This is the first workout. It is instrumental in setting up the rest of the seas
on, your specific workout intervals, and gauging your progress.
This workout will enable to set your correct interval for all workouts by gettin
g the average pace per 100 yards you swim in the 30 minutes
of set #2. This becomes your "DP" and your regular DP interval is 10 seconds mor
e per 100 yards. See instructions/introduction.
If you need tools to count, start with a stack of kickboards at the end of the p
ool. Move one into a second pile after each 100 or 200 yards.
