  • Today I did a lifetime best on a 100 LCM kick with out a board went 1:13 Tomorrow is the Sr Cir Meet, 400 fr is my first event, any suggestions on how to split it? Ande Ande, I'm thinking you should be knocking out something right under 4:20, maybe given your speed and the impressive amount of distance work you've been doing. I'd recommend 1:02+, 1:05-, 1:06-, 1:05+ (e.g., 2:08, 2:12). I actually think you can go faster than that if you're rested ... take that first 100 real easy though as even us naturally slow-twitched guys find our speed sometimes too fast going out; with your natural speed, I think you'll need to mentally throttle back more to not go out too fast.
