I've been working really hard on my 100 IM. I'm a relatively new swimmer and want to improve my times as much as possible before my first ever swim meet this February.
My (perceived) biggest problem in the 100 IM is getting comfortable on the breaststroke leg. After two SDK to start the fly and back I do feel i get my breath under control by the end of the backstroke, but really struggle to get a nice pull out. Sometimes, I even abandoned the pull out and surface straight into the stroke. Then, once I get into the stroke, I feel like I am breathing too often, but not getting any air - almost like hyperventilating.
Does this mean I am going out too hard on fly and/or back. Any drills, sets, focuses to work on to help this? Thanks for any suggestions.
But you should be well w/in 1/2 second of your top 25 fly.
...stuff cut...
And that means taking a 100 out in .75-1.0 of a 50 fly/back. (If he were a little bit faster I'd recommend .5-.8 seconds slower than a 50 fly/back.)
That sounds just about right to me.
