Hey, Forumites! I am training for the National Senior Games in June (and a few meets before then). My events will be: 50 br, 200 br, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 IM, and 400 IM. My two breaststroke events rank highest in priority with the 200 fly and 400 IM equal priority after that. 100 fly and 200 IM are last priority.
How do you think I should divide my training up between the four strokes and different race paces for each of the events? I swim six days per week, and I typically limit my daily yardage to 2,500 yards to prevent repetitive stress injuries.
Your advice would be most appreciated. :agree:
Thanks!
The archived IM workouts thread in the "Workouts" section has some bangin' I.M. sets from when PWB was writing the workouts. Also today is I.M. day for me so my main set looked like this:
10x200 @ 2:35
odd: FR
even: I.M. as follows:
#2 - 100 FL/25 BK/50 BR/25 FR
#4 - 25 FL/100 BK/25 BR/50 FR
#6 - 50 FL/25 BK/100 BR/25 FR
#8 - 25 FL/50 BK/25 BR/100 FR
#10 - FAST (normal 200 I.M.)
I worked the 50/100 of each one (notice it alternates short axis focus, long axis focus!)
Not saying do as is, but just an idea for doing "200 I.M.s" while mixing up the % of each stroke within the 200!
This is great! I could easily adapt it to a more suitable (slower!) interval and lighten up on the repeats a bit. Thanks!
