Hi All
Here are my LCM time from zones.
My 50 was a PB.
The 100 was first recorded time LCM, and the 200 was 7 secs faster than my last attempt.
Obvioulsy tecnique is very important, but looking at my drop off on the 200, what do you think is going on. I was told my stroke looked good on the 200.
Is my conditioning bad? Should I practice more broken 2's 3x50 mod 1x AFASP a few times thru etc? I did this for SCY Zones and went from 3:07 in January to a 2:56 by April--not a bad return IMHO.
Am I just a sprinter (albeit not that a fast of a sprinter) and will I not have much more joy in reducing my longer swim times?
I only get 3x a week in the pool and someone told me swimming 5-6 times would get my times down...I can't devote that much time.
Lastly I just bought paddles to find the slipping point in my BR pull and was happy to find only my left hand slipped a little on the insweep and only at a high pace--but not everytime.
I'm still working on not "blocking out" in the water by recovering my legs before my arms have shot into streamline. Anyone have drills for this? Peter C said to work on building up speed which I am doing.
Just looking for more input and ideas. I know LCM is a hard beast compared to SCY so swimming a PB on the 50 is encouraging.
Thanks

I am not so sure about that gull. I think that a point can be reached where somebody needs more than three days a week to make any further improvement but I don't think Stud is there yet (No offense intended here).
I was shaking and hurting when I got out...
I suspect that if you feel a little bit like this upon leaving the pool three times a week, you are going to improve. I think this is a simple case of atrophy and hypertrophy, no?
That is after a 200 where I "thought" I was sprinting at the end lol...I feel good after my workouts...
