How to build up endurance to swim the 200 fly? I haven't competed in this event in almost 30 years, but I can still do a respectable 50 fly. Is it lost forever, or can I get it back? Or maybe at least the 100 fly? Any training tips or advice? :afraid:
In terms of sets to do to work on fly, I always found "add-on fly" sets to be the most helpful in working on my fly (especially the 200).
examples:
100s in sets of 4, where you go #1-25fly/75free, #2-50fly/50free, #3-75fly/25free, and #4-100fly
or 200s the same way but doing it by 50s. For an added challenge, add the fly onto the back end of each distance (so #1 becomes 75free/25fly).
