Hey outthere,
I'm a 16yrs old youth and I'm currently working on some workouts to help me improving my time on 50m ***.
Regardless of some people warning me about it, I am selfcoaching and it seems to work as I cut off my 50 *** time by at least 15 secs. (I started with 1:08s in early Dec and just reached the 52,5secs yesterday)
As I usually go to the pool twice a week I would like to create a set of 4 different workouts with different focuses (endurance, sprint, technique e.g.) to avoid a routine and continue on going down the time ladder.
I already made up two workouts but also they seem to work as I can complete them fairly well if some on really knows some thing about the subject could have a look over them for me and correct them as nessacary and also help me with the rest of the workouts.
Btw I recently read that doing a lot of breaststroke isn't that good for the knees. Is that right? Does it mean that I should do less breaststroke in my workouts?
Thanks for ya help
Matthias
Congratulations on lowering your time,
you still have a lot of room for improvement.
You've got make excellent form a habit so you can do it without thinking. Meanwhile do some fast swims with great form.
Don't give up form to try to go faster.
You might want to video tape yourself.
Is that 50 Long course meters or short course meters?

Yeah I know. But even after working hard on a certain focus point in training I find it quite difficult to implement it to my race pace breaststroke instead of falling back to the old ugly stroke after a few meters.
Nevertheless I set my PB down to 48secs in first week of january. What a good start into the new year :D
