**If you need a little less yardage then do 1x50, 2x50, 3x50 instead of 1x50, 3x50, 5x50. That cuts out 300 yards and puts you at 2700 total**
Add on set for those going till 6:30am:

- #1-2: 25 cruise, 25 push, 25 cruise
- #3-4: 25 swim, 25 kick, 25 swim (with fins if you'd like)
300 swim - no gear
- Focus here is on your form, high elbows on your recovery with your hand staying below your elbow, leaving the lead hand out until you're at that 3/4 catch up mark and your face is back in the water, and within the pull having your elbow bend out towards the side of the pull as your first motion of forward propulsion.

(800ish warm up)
Main Set:
5x100 on 5:00 - yes, a 5 minute interval
- I'm looking for all out, as hard as you can go, best efforts here. With the extra rest, don't just sit back and have a cup of tea, I expect active recovery. Swim an easy 50 or 100, float around a bit, just make sure you're back to the wall with 30" to go so you can prep for the next one.

Set after 5x100's:
8x75 on 20" rest
- Odd: 50 free/25 breast stroke
- Even: 50 free/25 double arm backstroke
The focus on this set is stretching out the shoulders, pecs, hips and such, so don't rush the 25's of breast/back. Active recovery here.
(600 set/1900+ total)
Add on for group that stays:
