Trying to set one solid goal for next year. After a mediocre season, I've decided to focus on one event only for next year. I want to see if I can break 5 minutes for a 500 free.
Back in my college days (almost 30 years ago), my best was a 4:47, and I would routinely swim just under 5 in most dual meets. Since I started Masters swimming 4 years ago, my best has been a 5:10. Not bad, but I think I can do better.
Now here's the question for all the middle-distance studs out there: what are some good workouts/drills that you can do to A) increase raw speed, and B) increase endurance. As I mentioned in a different thread, I have been dealing with a mild anemia issue, which I'm pretty sure has been resolved.
i cant even remember 30. that was so many broken bones and surgeries ago.
its sad when you take an xray of your shoulder and can see all the ribs that have been broken
or take an xray of your lungs for pnemonia and see the anchors and screws holding your shoulder together.
ug!!!
the 500 certainly is an interesting race.
it sure will look odd on the blocks in san antonio if i get sandwhiched between 6'5" stewartcarroll and 6'5 pwd, some might look right past me and think nobodys on my block. oh look a shaved ewok! eeeewwwww! lol
This isn't going to help, but I'm also 6'5 and I'm planning on being at San Antonio!
