Now that I am friends with the 1000, how do I embrace the 400IM? Any training tricks? The interval suggestions for the 1000 free (my pace plus 15 seconds rest) has nicely upped my about-to-throw-up threshold. Now I need some speed for the back/*** legs of the 400. Please advise.

Not a breastroker at all, but was wondering how much of the back and *** you swim regularly? Also, how do you feel about each of them in terms of your technique? (Since you called these two out, I figured you were already comfortable with the fly/free portion.)
Redbird is right on and has been giving me tips. Throwing it out to the public now. How come, even in a 100 IM, I flip from backstroke to breaststroke and feel like my muscles are fried? Seems like this should be an easy leg; different muscles; different motions. Ideas on how to strengthen the middle of this race, the back/***?
Please keep in mind that I am not at this training level:
400 fly
400 (fly/back)
400 back
400 (back/***)
400 ***
400 (***/free)
400 free
400 IM
(Suggested set from previous postings on 400 IM.)
