Just wondering what folks are working on in their training or to prepare for meets this upcoming SCY season. I'm always interested in what people are doing and why.
For me, in an ideal world, I intend to work on:
improving my SDKs off turns
improving my free and *** technique
doing more strength and core work
increasing DPS
doing more race pace work throughout the season
swimming a 100 fly in SCY and SCM for the first time
taking some time off my 100 IM; I've been stuck in a rut
doing a fast 100 back this year; didn't get around to it last year
the season goal is sub-1:00 100 free...
so:
continue to train during team's off-time (mid Sept to mid Nov)
min 4 practices/week vs. 3 last season
2x/week core/strength work
3 SDK's off every wall
more FAST swimming at practice - target 1:05 push start 100 (current best is 1:08)
more FAST kicking at practice... hmm, well ok, START doing fast kicking at practice!
swim as many meets as possible, swim 100 free at every meet
I've got this weird IM fascination going on right now too, so probably some IM's... it'll help break up the freestyle
oh, and do my dang PT knee exercises so I can swim the 50 *** in Austin!
