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, remember how astonished I was by your huge drop in a 50m. ***?I could almost not believe that one could do it that fast.Well, today, after working on pretty much nothing but technique(low head position, nice glide, strong kick, etc.) for about 2 months I finally braved up to time my usually pathetic ***.Well, I did a 50SCM and completed it in 39.84sec!!!Ok, no laughing, I know it will sound like some ridiculous time for breaststrokers, but that is not only the first time I broke 40 sec. but also the first time I ever got even close to a low 40 sec. range.My best was 43.44 before, so I am happy to state that even my breaststroke is improving which seems to be the hardest for me.Now watch out, Matthias, I will soon break your record, lol, I am just kidding, but seriously , I am pretty impressed with your huge improvement, mine is not that tremendous, but still is very impressive and satisfying to me.I am now below the 40 sec. range!!!That feels good!!!
