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

Well, sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I can't resist it :D.
Wow Matthias, he took off over 12 seconds from his 50 *** in just 6 (? I think, seeing the posting dates) months! Wow, 35.72 from over 45. HOW did he do it?
And hooked-on-swimming as well as Matthias both mentioned working on technique. How does one work on that without a coach? I mean how can you tell the good technique from the bad technique if there's no one to correct your technique? How can I practice technique?
Are their massive chunks of time taken off mostly caused by improved techniques? I don't see either of them online anymore recently...
So, can anyone help? I want the improvement Matthias got, if not better! :D
