I am a 50+ (actually 60+) female, and I thought it might be interesting for some older folks to post some workouts. This is one I did today.
400 easy
8 X 50 IM order - 15 seconds rest. Odds are building, and evens are 25 max plus 25 easy.
5 X 300 - (100 IM + 100 free + 100 stroke - 15 seconds rest between each 100), 30 seconds rest between each 300. Descend times for each 300.
250 cool down
total: 2,550 yards.
Descending the times for the 300 yard sets made this workout challenging and interesting.

One of the reasons they were able to do this is because they did the stroke with 2 kicks in front, not one in front and one at the end of the stroke.

I'd be interested in a further explanation of this kicking sequence. Is it two kicks and then the arm pull? If that is the case, what is the key from sinking when the pull is being conducted without a kick?
Right now anything over a 50 fly for me is pure torture.
