Beware of getting what you wish for! I asked former assistant UM varsity coach and record-holding miler, Mark Murray, for advice on distance training, and received this challenging workout schedule.
Mark’s Workout Advice:
To improve your 1650 time, it’s best to do longer stuff three days a week, alternating with shorter swims for the other three days of the training week. For example, the shorter swims could be on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with longer swims occurring on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday should be the longest training day with long, easy intervals. Tuesday should consist of “short rest” 100s, 200s, and 300s. Wednesday should be long distances with short rest intervals. Workouts on Thursday and Saturday are similar to Tuesday’s. And on Friday do long stuff with lots of rest, but swim fast. Give it a try.
