Do distance swimmers spend less time w/kicking workouts
Former Member
Just curious if sprinters spend more time kicking as a percentage of their overall workouts compared to distance swimmers? Can and do distance swimmers have to spend less time?
Alas, also very true. I do actually try to kick these days, though ... a big step forward for me.
Patrick did have a fairly nice kick when I saw him accelerate away from me in the 3rd 100 of the 400 Free last weekend. But still...it's not a sprinters kick! :)
I can kick myself when needed...but only when needed. I don't waste my time in workouts to worry about much kicking. Occasionally maybe...like when pigs fly!
