The IM Lane

ande
IMers, We're Jacks & Jills of all trades Fly back *** free We gotta have speed but we gotta last to finish fast. It takes strategy & conditioning. We train equal amounts of all 4 or have a fatal flaw. We try to make our worst stroke not so bad. It's worked well for Ryan Michael Eric, Ariana Kirsty & Stephony What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • Headed to Mission Viejo for Regionals today. Really mixed bag of training going into the meet. And emotionally drained after one of our favorite swimmers suffered a massive heart attack in my early morning workout yesterday. Still critical. But here comes that 400IM on day one of the meet. What event provides a full workout in itself like the 4IM? My swimmer, Tom, thinks its bad ass that I swim it and I agree. I sure don't feel bad ass today. But then, the 4IM is nothing like the battle he is facing right now. So here goes... Oh, Ahelee, so sorry to hear that one of your swimmers had a massive heart attack. How scary for everyone and emotionally draining. You are bad ass for swimming the 400 IM - remember to save your legs for the 2nd half of the IM - use mostly arms for the fly and back and remember to breath. Lots. I'll be thinking of you and Tom and wishing you both well. We also have 1 day a week for IM's and 1 day a week designated stroke day. We also have a mid distance free day and a sprint day and a recovery/technique day. Something for everybody. I love swimming IM's - it's just very fun to work on all strokes. And the distance free helps me build endurance for the 200 and 400 IM, so I try to make every practice.
