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?
I have to respectfully disagree that one can't be successful at a 100 IM without being good at ***. Look at the two Smiths -- both alleged non-breaststrokers. Doesn't mean we're ignoring "the second half." Just trying to muscle through the offensive part of the second half.
Fortress -
Not suggesting someone has to be good... I am most certainly not.
Just saying you need to have good technique to keep the *** moving forward as efficiently and quickly as possible. Sometimes burning everything up in the fly and back leaves one too exhausted to pay attention to their weaker stroke.
