How fast do you kick compared to swimming?
This is prompted by a set in pwb's High Volume Workouts where a kicking interval/100 was 20 seconds more than normal swimming interval.
The question: What is the spread between your challenge interval for 5x100 swimming and 5x100 kicking?
In my case, I can kick fly on an interval 40 seconds slower than the fastest interval I can make for 5x100 swimming. Free kick is 10 seconds slower (slower than fly kicking).
I did my kicking test set today in age group practice.
10 x 100 Flutter Kick w/ board @ 2:00 BEST AVG.
no pulling into the walls, aside from dropping the kickboard around to reach the wall with the other hand.
Went 1:41 avg. with a best of 1:38 and a non-best of 1:42. I'm sure I could blast 1 or 2 much faster, but to maintain an average that's not too bad.
NOTE: My former BASE time for swimming free sets was 1:15/100, which I'm sure can probably be dropped down to 1:10/100 now.
