Ande's virtual coaching

Hi Isobel, thanks for your kind comments You really want to improve your 400 IM you asked me: What's the best way to get endurance for the 100 fly? + Train harder, longer, smarter, more times a week, on a team with fast teammates & a great coach, at ideal times in a convenient pool. + Train for the 500, 200 & 100 free, swim all the strokes in practice do fast 200's, 300's, 400's & 500's for time mix it up in your practice work on speed and endurance + Do some fly in practice but take no sloppy strokes, mainly do 25's & 50's, I don't swim much fly in practice. It does help to perfect your fly technique. + Work on your SDK, but don't SDK much when you race a 400 IM + Work on your push offs & streamlines Push off hard / streamline skinny / glide far + get a great tech suit + Correctly split your 400 IM, Some swimmers go way too hard on the first 100, Here's how I suggest swimming a 400 IM fast turns, Push off hard / streamline skinny / glide far fly cruise it, breathe every stroke, save your legs back cruise it, breathe often, save legs, easy speed, need to feel good at the 200 *** work it, hard pushoffs, long glides free 6 beat kick, breath often, bring it home fast Hope this helps you swim your 400 IM faster faster.
