On another thread, there was a reference to having a "focus event." I was wondering how many of us have focus events and what they are. Is it a good thing to have a focus event to help direct your training?
I have an event that always seems to be my "best" event (50 back), but I wouldn't say I focus on it exclusively at all. More apt to focus on sprinting in general.
Thoughts?
400 IM and 200 bk. Swam lots more backstroke last year with great results. 1.5 sec drop in the 50, 3 secs in the 100 and 6 secs in the 200 at SCY nationals. That was after a LOT of backstroke sets including LT backstroke sets. This year my coach said something about a distance free event so I think I see a lot of 800 free sets in my future!
