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?
2) You must have a good breaststroke to win.
3) John Smith says the key to a good 100 IM is the fly-back turn. Nope. It's the back-*** turn. Those of us lucky enough to know how to do the rollover turn gain 1.5 seconds on those who do anything else. And since we know how to do it, we've trained our lungs for the six seconds underwater after more than 25 seconds of fast swimming.
#2 To win what exactly? Nationals? :rofl: I guess I agree with that. But I did win the 100 IM at my last meet and I suck at *** (even though I have very flexible ankles).
#3 This is very true. I wish I could do the rollover. Haven't really practiced it because I think I need the oxygen. The only person I've seen do it really well about my age is Karlyn and she is, well, Karlyn. Maybe I'll try a few in practice. Just don't want to get DQ'd outta the box trying it at Zones. Thankfully, Karlyn isn't crashing our meet again this year. At least I don't think so ....
