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.

You don't want to kill your legs in the first half of an IM whether it's a 200 or 400 for sure. Breaststrokers win IMs usually so work that stroke, too. It's not as evil as many believe.
Yeah, I agree with Jane. I used to race 200 and 400 IM, and I always started to really pull away from the rest of the lanes on my breaststroke leg. I have a fairly decent fly and a strong solid freestyle, but my back stinks, so thanks to my best stroke, ***, for saving my ***.
So yeah, work on breaststroke. :woot:
