After a largely successful meet this weekend (PB in 200 back by 3 seconds) my coach admonished me for a largely ineffective SDK. Seems as though I don't engage my core enough, am kicking more from the knee than the torso. He has suggested strongly (shall we say expected?) that I do some shooters at most practices, e.g. 6X25.
Here's my questions: what ratio of SDK to rest are you using for shooters? How many do you do in a set? With or without fins?
I am doing them with Zoomers, doing each 25 in about :17 to :19, with an interval of :45. I pushed the hypoxic envelope pretty hard this week as I started doing a set of 6. My 12 year old thinks I'm a wimp, I'd like to think I can salvage my ego.
Given the evident similarities, can't I just have sex instead? Is there a conversion table available, or is it a straight 1 to 1 conversion? I'm 47, so given my years of experience, what interval should I go on? Do I have to hold my breath to gain the same benefit? Is there extra credit for sex under water? Should I wear Zoomers, a monofin, snorkel, Lycra, or all of the above? Do I have to stay in my lane the whole time? Is this something I can work on by myself, or should I get some coaching?
