My past two days of training were focused on speed. Last night I did a swim speed workout and today I was at the track for the first time in a while. I'm going to try and consistently add these workouts into my training between now and the end of the season. I've done speed workouts in the past but very sporadically. I feel like I'm at the point in my training where I can start to worry about speed. Since I'm mostly doing sprint races I know I have the necessary endurance for this distance, but there is room to lower my time. Even though my 'A' race, the Mighty Hamptons olympic, is 6 weeks away, and my first olympic, I think the inclusion of these workouts will help me overall.
Here's what each workout consisted of...

Warm up: 3x100 (swim/kick/pull)
Main Set: 4x400 pyramid (25/50/75/100/75/50/25) with 10 sec. RI between reps and 2-3 min RI between sets

Run (meters)
