I hope to be able to post a video in the next few days but let me explain what I'm having trouble with...
I'm a triathlete. I started a few years ago with almost no kick at all. After some convincing I decided I wanted to develop a stronger kick. My goal was to start developing a decent 6 beat kick and transition to a 2 beat kick for races. I've gotten to the point where my 6 beat is decent but my legs are certainly more tired than I want them to be in a tri by the time I get on the bike. I know that means I still have a long way to go.
My issue is with transitioning to a 2 beat. I kick down and then reach out with the same side. So, for example, my right hip starts to rotates down, I kick, then extend with my right side. This feels much more natural to me then the way I've read I should be doing the 2 beat. It makes sense to me to kick this way as my hip and leg kick are helping me rotate to the side that is extending.
Hopefully someone can explain this in for the novice :) I need to be set straight before this becomes too ingrained :) (any great videos? - I found a few out there but nothing great)
