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

This is an interesting question. You started me thinking about it. For fly and back I would think you can train for a 200. For breaststroke, you have already swum 200, so you really need to train for a 300. For free, you start at 300 so you should train for at least a 400. Since fly, back and *** are less efficient than free you will probably be more fatigued at the 300 of the 400im than at 300 of 400 free. Makes me think that you should probably train for 500 free.
I'd like to hear others chime in. Anyone else have thoughts?
I set that I liked when training for 200 or 400 IM was
2 x (8 x 50 swum as 50 fly,25 fly/25bk, 50 back, 25 bk/25 br, 50 br, 25 br/25 fr, 50 free, 25 fr/25 fly)
You get to practice all the turns in this set.
Hmmm, you lost me on that first paragraph. I'm not following you. :confused: BUT, I do like your set for training IM. :agree: How much rest in between 50's?
