Excited that Summer Nats are east coast.
Looking to qualify in 50 free. Right now I am swimming 27 low for 50 scy. I swam a 26.09 last year and a 29.9LCM about two years ago.
What sets really work and how many rest days between?
I swim 5 to 6 days a week about 50 min sessions. Sometimes I can swim a bit longer. Because of the time constraints, what are thoughts about warm downs?
When will cut sheets be posted?
Have you mixed 8-10 sec bursts with fins?
After tough days, try some recovery swimming keeping the HR low.
It is also important to guage your nerves in response to training, work, and rest with the goal of sharpening the reflexes before your performance.
Plyometrics can help the start and turns, which is half of the race in a 50
With OW swimming, that might dull top speed
