I'm not too worried about the turning aspects...just a little unsure of what to do at the backstroke to *** turn.
Also any good workouts for this?
I'm doing 900 free for warm up (0-1650 in 6 weeks) then trey to do another 1500 per workout.
I've obviously been hitting *** but want to get some fly and back work in as well as turns--obviously I can always go to the wall and touch then turn but that's inefficient.
Is doing a 100 IM then hitting sets of 50 of fly and back or what? I've ordered a couple of books for reference and they should get here shortly.
Any thoughts or articles?
The 100IM sums up all that defines masters swimming....its the essence of what we are about.....IMHO!
IM no matter what distance is and should be considered the "5th Stroke" and needs to be trained for to excel......still if your focus is on the 100 its a springt but one that I still approach with a "build" mentality...ie the start and each lap is inititated with a strong underwater and breakout but the first 2-3 strokes are used to get the feel/rhythm going and an attack on the wall.
I like any set that ties in turns...the transitions are what usually win/lose this event.
Of....and by the way....with one big a.s dolfin kick on the "token" breastroke lap I can get about 12-13 yards out of the way and get back to the "real" stroke...freestyle baby! :groovy:
