Okay, if i'm currently going a 25.8 in a 50 Freestyle (SCY), what would i have to do to bring it down to a 23.8 by the end of the summer?
2 second drop in 3 months? is that possible? And i don't mean by using a fast suit or anything, i just want to make myself faster while wearing a brief.
I'm only 14 so i should be growing and getting stronger (i hope) haha
Anyways, in the summer i will practice with my team for about 3 hours a day, and i plan on lifting weights everyday aswell. So, what can i do to get my 50 time down.
My start is decent, and my flip is aswell, but how do i get faster like just by pushing off the wall?
I hear that sprinting in practice helps.
My flutter is TERRIBLE.
In practice, when we do kicking sets, i try as hard as i can, i'm probably the one making the biggest splash, but everyone around me is passing me, and i get TIRED from doing kick. How can i help that?
Anyways, please tell me how to get my times down.
thanks alot :)
Ok, fix your kick first. If you are splashing, you are not moving yourself through the water, you are making a show. Kick down into the water, if you feel your feet come out of the water, that is too high. A strong kick is VERY important for sprinting.
Next, do weights every other day. 4 times per week is plenty. If you have a staduim (or outdoor stairs) nearby, run stairs once or twice per week. That will help your cardiovascular system and strengthen your legs and glutes - the very thing you need for starts and pushoffs. Work up to running about the equivalent of 30 flights of stairs, doing 3 flights at a time, then rest for a couple of minutes. That will approximate the energy output you will need for a 50.
Get lots of rest when not training. That is easy for us old farts to do, we are tired anyway. You need to go to bed early (at least 6 days per week) and take naps during the day.
You will get under 24 easily. Shoot for 22s. Good luck.
