OK enough of Amanda let's talk turkey..
Here is my latest 200 BR splits. Do you thnk I am taking it too easy in the middle?
42.19, 46.44, 46.16, 41.91 a faster back 100?
the previous was
40.84, 44.69, 45.11, 46.98
SS- I used to have a pretty decent 200 (high 2:20's). My best splitting went 1:12+ and 1:16+.
These days if I go under 2:40, I'm happy. Right now, for Nationals I'm planning on an easy first 50, and even splitting the rest. Hopefully something like: 36.5ish, and then 40.0s.
It has been recommended to me to try a tempo trainer. The idea with that is that you get a rhythm down. I e-mailed the coach of a breaststroke World Record holder a couple of years ago and actually got a response! He told me of a drill that he did with J. Hardy before she broke the WR. PM me, big boy, and I'll tell you all about it :rofl:
It's all about practice. See what works and what doesn't. Always keep trying new things, because you never when the old ones will suddenly click. Most of my workouts have more br. drill than swim.
