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

Dima,
Breaststroke is ALL about timing. You can go even faster!
It takes years to get a great breaststroke, so you have a great future in that stroke.
RatT,
I am working 12-14 hours a day, with no days off sim=nce early March. Just no time for long writing.
But you have to be specific when you are talking about Amanda's stroke. There is HUGE timing changes from her 100 meters to her 200 meters.
Personally I want everyone to look more like her 200 timing, fast pull, kick and glide with her head underwater for one second.
That way when you are swimming a 100, you will naturally speed up the tempo, but keep the technique.
