200 Challenge: Goal time, roadmap and status updates
Former Member
This thread is for people to post their goals for the 200 (in any stroke), outline how they plan to get there, progress updates and to get feed back on their plans and updates.
Chris I dont think there is a right or wrong on this but rather what works best for you. And there is real value in understanding what works best for people, especially the more accomplished like yourself! So just to be clear: when you are comparing your 4 x 200's times to your in-season times you are wearing the same suit (I assume racing brief) for both situations.
Was it you who said you do 1,000 and a 1650 backstroke in one practice. Your endurance is to be envied!
Similar suit in practice and in-season meets. Agreed that there is more than one good way to train!
No, I don't do straight 1000 or 1650 backstrokes. Sometimes I'll do overdistance work -- not very often -- but mostly to work on stroke mechanics or "feel" (or just recovery) rather than for real training.
