And now how do I fall in love with the 400IM?

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.

  • How come, even in a 100 IM, I flip from backstroke to breaststroke and feel like my muscles are fried? A lot of IMers will tell you not to kill your legs in the front half of the IM, especially the backstroke. That may be where your friedness is coming from. That set of 400s - change that to 100s - I did that with FlyQueen's team yesterday and it was very challenging. :dedhorse:
