The Butterfly Lane

Fun with YouTubeDoubler! :lmao:KNELSON & THAT GUY :lmao:versus :lmao:MICHAEL PHELPS' WORLD RECORD!!! :lmao: a 200 fly for the ages (or maybe the aged) www.youtubedoubler.com/ If the race was you to the 150, and Phelps to the 200 point, I think he still touched you out by a hair!!! :bolt:

Yeah, I guess I would too.

If the race was you to the 150, and Phelps to the 200 point, I think he still touched you out by a hair!!! :bolt: good thing it wasn't short course!

good thing it wasn't short course! It's tough to get lapped in the LCM 200 Fly, but SCY or SCM...I'm pretty sure I'd be trying to ride the wave as he came by me!! :bliss:

Is it strange to be able to swim a somewhat relaxed fast 100 fly and come within 4-5 seconds of your all out sprint 100 free time??? Maybe it's just us flyers that can do this. I'm finding as every meet goes by, that I think fly will be my true calling, especially as long as the gridge with That Guy is out there!! :duel:

The 100 free was only a few minutes after the 200 fly... it was dumb of me to enter anything that soon after a 200... that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :angel:

My best 200 free is a 1:51 while my best 200 yard fly is a 1:56.

Here are some more fly swim sets: The Broken 100 Fly Main element is 100 fly straight (within 10 seconds of goal meet time) 50 fly 10 sec 50 fly 50 fly 10 sec 25 fly 5 sec 25 fly 4 x 25 fly 5 secs on your count - you should be under your meet time subtract 15 interval is at least 4 minutes or more. easy swim in between. works really well with a partner or with 2 -3 max in lane and alternate groups of 2 going on the 2 or 2 1/2 minutes. then you can cheer for each other! Build a 200 IM! I love this set but we rarely do it. You can pick an interval, but I always liked the "key man" interval - like going on the 3 person plus 10, etc. 25 fly 50 fy 50 fly 25 back 50 fly 50 back 50 fly 50 back 25 *** and so on. Wimpys can do it build it backwards from the freestyle and add onto the front. The Moving 50 fly! Sets of 100's with a 50 free/50 fly You pick the intensity - either lots of rest & recovery or build a bit more endurance. 50 fly 50 free 25 free 50 fly 25 free 50 free 50 fly 25 fly 50 free 25 fly I would do it as 2 min per 100; 2 x 50's recovery on 1 minute in between each. Bank the rest (so you are really leaving on the 4 minutes) and the key is to get as close to your 100 free practice time on each one. Challenge 100 fly set! 5 x 100's 25 fly 75 free 50 fly 50 free 75 fly 25 free 100 easy 100 all out fly! (Our coach's idea) Add 25's fly! 12 x 25 4 x 25 easy free 1 fast fly 1 easy free repeat 4 times 30 sec interval 12 x 25's 4 x 25 easy free 2 fast fly 1 easy free 2 fast fly 1 easy freee 2 fast fly 35 sec interval 12 x 25's 3 fast 1 easy on the 40 interval I don't know why we did the 4 x 25's easy. I think it was because there was a challenge conditioning set in between each, and I sat those out. Was it Speedo that mentioned training for the 100 fly? My other two favorite sets for that are: When everyone else is doing 200's pull, I do: fast 75 fly recovery 100 free on the same interval, so about 1 fast 75 per 6 minutes. Goal time is right at where you would need to be at the 75 in race. Swim it as agressively as a 50 fly. Here's one more: 100's free/fly, again a good rest interval, and really push the first 50 free and bring it home the 2nd 50 fly. I prefer to do back-half 50 flys because you don't have any trouble taking out the first 50 - it's bringing it home where I need the work! Sneak 25 flys As a practical matter, you can't always modify based on the # of people in a lane and the intervals. So another is move down a lane or two and do last 25 blast flys. Swim the first 75 strong to moderate, depending on where you place in the lane. Rest 5 seconds at the 75 and then absolutely blast that last 25 fly. And finally, The Get out 100 Fly! No description necessary!

Here are some more fly swim sets: Thanks for all the great fly sets! It is good timing as I have been thinking of racing 100m fly again.

A little modification to your work out. My goal was to keep all my fly at the same pace. . Next week 20 x 50 on 10-15 rest at 1,000fly pace. Warm up.. 700 ish with a little fly not much. 8 x 50 odd fly 15 seconds rest even perfect free moderate. Repeat 3 times 25 fly 10 sec 75 free15 sec 50 Fly 10 sec 50 free 15 sec 75 fly 10 sec 25 free 30 sec then do same in reverse order 3 times. Before you know it you have done 900 more fly. I noticed when I do this I can monitor the fly time and try to keep it even and when I start the reverse order it seems easier. Then do 4 x 100 odd fly Fly 20 seconds rest Free 30 seconds rest Fly 20 seconds rest Free 2 min rest (swim a very easy 50 ) 200 broken fly 10 seconds at each fifty. Two times 15 second rest. EZ Stretch everything out. 50 fly 50 back long kick off walls underwater 50 fly 50 *** Warm down
