Having short club meet this weekend and swimming only 2 50m events. (fr and br).
I've always used to warm up before any events but I heard many times folks telling that there's no need to warm up for 50 and some even told it's not recommended. The question is addressed mainly to sprinters: What do you think? Do you warm up before 50 events? If you do warm up for 50s, could you pls type some examples?
3-4 build 50s + 4-5 AFAP 12.5s off the blocks?! Way too much fast work for a 50 warm up IMO, but YMMV. I never go off the blocks during warm up to save the legs.
Good point. Starts do take a toll. If you don't believe it, practice multiple starts sometime and see how your legs feel the next day!
