Breaking 1:00 in the 100 free SCY for the 1st time
Former Member
I'm interested in hearing from people that did it for the 1st time in their life as a Masters swimmer. Who is the oldest out there to accomplish this feat?
I'm 42 and went for a best of 101.xx for the 2nd season in a row. I think I am going to do it, maybe next year. But I know I am not getting younger.:frustrated:
Hey Herb,
your 50, 100 & 200 are
27.7, 1:01, 2:21
you swim 3-4 times a week. & go up to 4-5 for a couple of months to end the spring season. you do 2000-3000 SCM a workout.
you kick a 50 in a minute
you want to do a 5k later in the summer & will get your yardage up to 4000 f
not doing much Weight lifting
you're 6'1, 220 lbs
My knee was blown out and I have poor circulation in my legs and they are just overall weak.
wore a $30 jammer
didn't shave
didn't wear a cap

what were your splits for 100?
to go under 1:00, you need more speed
you went 27.7 in the 50, you need to be 27 low 26 high
develop the ability to take your 100 out in 28 low
do the testing and training I suggest for
Help My flutter Kick is Horrible
focus on improving your 25 kicking speed
Help my Speed is Horrible
focus on improving your 25 kicking speed
even if you're training for the 5k,
it won't hurt you to do a few fast 25s in every practice
do
6 x 25 swim
odds FAST on :20
evens very easy on :40
and
6 x 25 kick
odds FAST on :30
evens very easy on :50
Then do the rest of the workout you planned for the day
lose weight
go from 220 to 205, 200 or 195
swim 5 or 6 times a week, swim 3500 to 4000 a practice, sometimes pop it up to 4500 or more a practice
wear a faster suit
wear a cap
shave
train hard for a meet then rest a bit before it
