Pretraining
there's Six pretraining venues has already prepared for the teams and athletics who arrive in shanghai ahead of the scheduled time. & the cheapest they charge the athletes to train is $20 per hour per swimmer.
It looked like Sun Yang did a couple of strokes with 1-stroke breathing off each turn, even on that fast last 50. Any other swimmers do that?
I do it going into turns as well (not coming out), but it's more of a lazy habit. When I did my fast 1650 last February, I actually made a point of NOT doing it, and it made me much faster. I did catch myself doing it a few times :frustrated: Old habits are hard to break.
I've been working on swimming with breathing to the opposite side now as well, and it feels really strange. I have sort of a galloping stroke, and I have to reverse it to breathe to the opposite side.
I think that in my next 1650 attempt, I will try something different, and breathe straight ahead, with both arms recovering at the same time, and possibly use a dolphin kick!! I will dedicate this one to Peony, who does a 1650 like this every practice.
