Today was swim day for me. I just started a brand new workout. However, this is week two with the workout and right now I can't complete it in an hour but that is one of the cool things. When I can complete it in an hour I know to change it up. I do modify depending on the time. I might take out 300 free and the 3 x50 or something like that. But this is the routine:
Warm up - 500 easy, 200 kick easy, 100 easy, 6 x 50 with 20 sec rest
400 free drills (could be anything - using paddles for 200, Thumb to thigh for 200, whatever)
300 free – 15" rest,
3 x 50’s free 10" rest
3 x 50’s kick – 10" rest
rest 2 minutes
200 free 10" rest
2 x 50’s swim 10" rest
2 x 50’s kick 10" rest
100 free
1 x 50 swim
1 x 50 kick
300 swim down..........300 yds

Spent too much time looking on Trifuel creating an attack strategy. Does that count?

This is my standard schedule that includes the types of workouts I do. I just added the run-bike-run workout because of how I felt on races recently. This is about 9.5 hours of workouts, and I expect to hit 90% of it. All runs are followed by 1x1:15 planks, which I find to be really helpful.
Monday:
am: open water swim 1 mile
lunch: 5 miles @ 80%
pm: bike PDXroute x3 - this is a hill route equivalent to the Portland Tri in Aug
Tuesday:
am: off
lunch: bike hills x 4 - this is a hill by my work, about 10 minutes up, three down
pm: 9 mile run
Wednesday:
am: open water swim 1 mile
lunch: run speed drills (800 warmup, 2x800, 2x400, 2x200, 2x100, 800 cooldown)
pm: off
Thursday:
am: off
lunch: pool swim (various speed drills, sometimes a 1x2000yds)
pm: R-5k, B-20k, R-5k (hilly run, flat bike)
Friday:
am: off -
lunch: off
pm: MTB for fun or off
Weekend:
- race length brick (no swim, some hills on bike and run)

Wow, these are some intense work outs!! I can't tell whether i'm doing just enough or too little! (training for a HIM --Timberman).
Monday: Easy 5 mi bike hill with a small jog after (rest workout) [very impromptu...don't think its a real workout, but just felt like I needed to get on the bike for a little, came back and went for a run to the supermarket where I bought groceries for the week haha]
Tuesday: 10 mile run
wednesday (today): Bike or Swim work out... will post later

Question: has there ever been a thread where people just post workouts they do for the benefit of other people looking for suggestions on a workout?
I propose we use a thread to just write down suggestions or previous work outs with whatever information you want to provide!
Hopefully this idea will fly because I think i'm not alone when I find myself a couple of days right before I go out on that run whether i'd rather do intervals or a long shot.
Perhaps specify some details for the work out though--like whether you're training for an IM or sprint.
and if there was already a thread like this, lets start it back up again!!
