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?
As for that 100 IM interval you were asking about, I'm not sure. 3:00 sounds a little generous knowing some of your times. Do a time trial, report back and then we can suggest appropriate training intervals. You may want to have a harder interval this month and get more rest as Zones draws closer.
I agree with this although at first 3:00 might be needed. I've been known to do this interval but usually when doing IM's at 90-95% of race pace. Generally I go on 2:00 when I'm alternating with free (oops, crawl).
