Swim Workouts Part II

Yesterday I posted my swim workouts. Today I read on Bree's blog (she's my favorite pro!) her swim workout from yesterday. I had thought doing Master's Swimming would be good for me, but now I think if I tried, I'd be in way over my head! Here's her workout:

Warmup:
  • 600 warm up/mix
  • 24×50 on 60 (drill, use the drills specific to your needs)
  • 200 Swim
Main set:
  • 600 steady
  • 6×100 swim on 1:20
  • 4×50 easy on 50
  • 400 swim solid effort
  • 4×100 on 1:20
  • 4×50 easy on 50
  • 200 solid effort
  • 2×100 on 1:20
  • 4×50 ALL OUT on 1 minute
Cooldown:
  • 200 easy

I'm in my base phase, so that means 2,500 meters per swim. I don't know what phase she's in, but this one workout is 4,600 meters. Not only that, she's doing 100s on 1:20—if I tried to do that, I'd get NO TIME between sets. In fact, I'd be behind after the first one! Wow. Maybe being a pro is totally out of my reach.
