If I want to train for a 200y/m Breaststroke...in say 2-3mos.
Can anyone point me to a link for said regime...I will be solo training for this.
I'm 37. 185ish.
I haven't raced in 25years lol. I'm swimming a mile of *** 3x a week circa 40-50mins (I haven't timed it accurately)
Make sure you do a really good warm-up first. I need at least 600 to warm-up. I say start with 5 x 100 and then work up to 10X100 if you have time. If your stroke gets a little ragged that's OK as it will probably get ragged in a race and you want to be confident you can finish anyway. If it gets very ragged stop and do something else,as you want to minimize swimming with poor form. If you think you can get close to your goal time enter it for the meet.If not enter a time you can do. I think it's great to be in a heat with people about your speed to swim with/against.
