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.
It is easy to say "The best 100m sprinters generally have more "leisurely" catches than less successful sprinters" but do they generally have leisurely catches??? I have seen very few sprint swimmers who have leisurely catches.
Gee, I wish I had a "leisurely" catch, but I don't think I really do. At least not in a sprint, although I'm sure my catch could be improved. The catch is the trickiest part of freestyle for me.
I think this is a bit of linguistics again. No sprinter is really "leisurely" just as swimming is not "effortless." Both are Effortful, as Terry has said elsewhere although everyone is striving for that perfect efficient speed.
