when I swim at a middle distance race pace, like if im doing 5 x 100 on a quick interval my muscles get tired faster than my heart. I wont even be breathing hard but my arms are tired and causes my stroke techinque to go bad quick. Does anyone else have this problem.
Morgan, not to question your coach too much,but as I noted in another thread I don't know of any world class sprinter who doesn't pull past their waist. That seems to be a technique more popular with distance swimmers.
This is what I thought too, even though I've been told to early exit for shoulder reasons. But then I always agree with Allen. :rofl:
Warren:
I agree with Ande too. As always. He gives great advice. We sprinters don't need no stinking 200s and 500s! At least you don't have to worry about having a coach to make you do all that aerobic stuff. Were you at the Mason Sprint Classic where we got to do 25s? Weren't those the best?
Morgan:
I don't float at all either. You must be a sprinter. Try not to be too disheartened. I really think Rich is right. I think your 100 and 200 times will drop a lot when you taper. I guess they should be a little faster based on your 50 times, and I don't blame you for being disappointed. Everyone is sometimes. Try talking to your coach about the issue and how your body is feeling. Are there other sprinters on your team? You really should have separate workouts for sprinters/strokers/distance swimmers. Those long distance workouts will just make you feel beat up. But, at least if he believes in a taper, you'll have some really fast times later. But remember, sprinters need to taper more. Personally, I started loafing some sets in college a little earlier than everyone else because I knew I needed more rest. Hopefully, your coach will see that too.
I'm really allergic to dogs guys. Those avatars are killing me here in cyber space.
