Keeping track of my training and Masters comeback after an 18-year layoff. I'll be posting daily workouts and, when time permits, I'll fill in the details of my background.
Why come back after 18 years? Who knows really. Here are a few possibilities:
1. A good way to channel my mid-life crisis energy.
2. I can swim a 50 breaststroke.
3. I can swim a 50 fly.
4. I wasn't doing anything useful at 5:00AM anyway.
5. Brown hair is over -rated.
6. Grey hair is inevitable.
7. I don't have to wear a "speedo".
8. That SDK thing looks like cheating to me.
9. Cheating should make it easier to go fast.
10. To find out how much I've lost.
Anyone else out there making a comeback?
you should be much faster than that
what sort of suit are you going to wear in your meet?
At least get a PRO LEGSKIN
Train for speed and strength
Rest a little bit and
find out where you are
think you're going to surprise yourself
It also depends if
you're a "workout swimmer" some swimmers are very fast in workout and
how much rest you need for hard back to back 50's
Formula to figure out IM time
Swim a hard 200 IM in practice for time
subtract 10 seconds.
Based on the times above, does anyone have comments on the following methodology for the 50 goals:
50s ~ (2 X 25 Push off time) + 1 Second
This would mean goals of:
50 Fly ~ :26.6
50 BK ~ :31.0
50 BR ~ :31.8
50 FR ~ :24.0
Am I being too easy/hard on myself? What are your thoughts?
Any alternative theories?
What about the IM? Has anyone developed a formula for calculating how fast you can go?
