The main set of this session switches between 200m IM and 100m Fc. This makes the session challenging, but not boring despite being 1800m long. The times I use are my own, I would roughly be getting 15 seconds rest on the FC and 20-25 on the IMs. I find the changing between the two disrupts my rhythm forcing me to focus on my technique and pacing more than if I were to just do a straight set of 100s or 200s. I have added a generic warm up that should suit this set. This should fall into A2 in terms of energy systems used, but with some tweaking can become an AT set.
