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

Looking to train for the 400 IM and looking for more workout ideas. Only seen a couple posted in the thread so far. Also training for 200 fly as well but my thoughts are that training IM and not just mainly fly will still help me accomplish the 200 fly correct?
My two favorite main sets for 4im are these:
All IM:
4 x 100 on 1:30
3 x 200 on 2:25
2 x 300 on 3:20
1 x 400 on 5:00
1 x 300 on 3:20
1 x 200 on 2:25
1 x 100 on 1:30
Change the intervals so they start out easy and get to the point where they are rough for the 300's (no more than 5-10 sec rest), but then you get sufficient rest on the 400.
and the other:
2000 straight:
400 free cruise
400 im hard
300 fr 50 easy / 250 cruise
300 im hard
200 fr 50 easy / 150 cruise
200 im hard
100 fr 50 easy / 50 cruise
100 im hard
100 easy on 3:00
10 x 100 on 1:10 im (pick an interval you can hold but only get 2-5 sec rest)
