How Much Fly

In connection to the poll about which stroke you train the most at; I want to test my hypothesis that no one outside of a small group of masochistic freaks would swim more than 50% of a regular 3000-4000 yard workout butterfly.......So if I'm wrong let me know by voting and by commenting on how you swim all that butterfly in a single workout?

  • Before I did my first 200 fly in competition I made a habit of ending every practice or every other one with a 200 fly when I was dead tired. On long distance days there is really no way to get fly into the workout and yet keep the yardage up. But on IM or stroke days I do try to do fly to build up my shoulders. Today I did 20% of the workout fly, but that is not the norm. I figure if I can gain some endurance doing fly all of my other strokes should benefit too. Keep Flyin!:D
