I like the idea of IM for freestylers. Decent set but I’d run it a little different below:
400fr breath 3/5/7/9 x 25 @ ez interval
1x200im @ ez interval
300fr descend by 100 @ moderate
2x150im (50fl, 50bk, 50br) @ moderate
200fr descend by 50 @ fast interval
3x100im @ fast interval
100fr recovery
4×50 AFAP IM order from block
Free could be paddle pull as optional.
