The IM Lane

Do broken swims or not, I tend to be faster on broken swims than I go in actual races. Coaches tend to assign broken swims during taper. The most important IM turn is the BK to Br, if you don't do them right, you'll give up time. So have it down. Correct Splitting is Critical for 400 IMs here's what's worked for me you want to feel pretty good at the 200 so you can really work the BR & FR Improve your breastroke technique You need speed and conditioning to have a strong 2 & 4 IM, be in great shape, Train for the 200, 400, 500, 800 & 1000 fr, the 200 bk & br. Develop your easy speed fly My 400 IM reminders for the 1st 200 are: BREATHE often, stay relaxed, easy speed, smooth, barely kick / save your legs Swim Faster Faster, Ande I love the 400IM. It was my favorite event to race but not my best, due to 100 yards of breastroke. I am a pigeon footed, long lanky person built for long axis strokes. I cant do a proper breastroke kick worth crap. I don't know if I'm doing anything in proper in breastroke lol. I have never raced 100-200 *** and never plan to. I just want to find a way I can keep decent momentum without too much effort in the *** section of the 400IM (where I used to get destroyed, it was pathetic, I usually used it as a resting point so I could bring home a strong free). My splits would look something like this by hundred: :53 :56 1:24 :52 This was 5+ years ago, I have just started training again a month ago, and all my strokes still feel good/decent except breastroke. I am doing *** differently that I used to, but it is still very very slow. On a positive note, I feel I might could start over or re-do/re-learn my whole *** technique. I need to work on my leg/ankle flexibility for *** for sure. As I can't generate hardly any propulsion with a kick. My legs/ankles just won't grab the water! I need to find some stretches and things I could do to help my legs work more like those breastroke weirdos who walk around with their feet turned out. Any ideas?
