The Backstroke Lane

ande
Backstrokers unite. We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing. We SDK every day. It's breath taking. We go forwards in reverse. We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back. We swim back. We kick back.

  • Thanks for the suggestion! But I confess I'm confused. The first time I read it, I thought, when doing a set of 100s as 2x50s, put low rest between the two 50s. Then I read, "Only having low to medium rest will mean that on the first half of the next repeat, you will still be somewhat tired ...", and I thought, maybe the low rest is after the 2nd 50, before starting the next 2x50? It could be, (50, low rest, ) ... high rest ... (50, low rest, ) ... high rest ... (50, low rest, ) ... Or it could be, (50, high rest, ) ... low rest ... (50, high rest, ) ... low rest ... (50, high rest, ) ... Or I guess it could be, (50, low rest, ) ... low rest ... (50, low rest, ) ... low rest ... (50, low rest, ) ... Also, what do you consider low rest? Thanks! None of those. I mean repeats of 100's wherein you sprint the 2nd 50 of each 100. Then take low (5-10 seconds) to medium (10-30 seconds) rest before the next 100. Have a mental cue like "ok GO" when it's time to sprint. It'll come in handy in competition.
