This workout is designed to test your endurance with a ladder-pace set, where your goal will be to hit pace on the last 5x100's as accurately as you did on the first 100 of the ladder. Also, the 10x50's at the beginning and end of the workout are there to help you maintain your negative-split ability and allow you to swim faster and harder when you're fatigued (remember, I said this was our intention for these next two weeks).
