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)

    Instead of using a pullbouy I'd recommend using fins, if that doen't hurt your muscles.You can more easily simulate the undulation with fins. I do a lot of breaststroke pull dolphin kick in workouts to save wear and tear on my knees. I didn't think about that. Well I'll first go easy, on Friday and Monday, Wed I can see where I am at. I'm getting a nice massage tomorrow so hopefully if it's hip/disc related it will free up a bit. I can certainly try the dolphin kick if I want to work arms. The silly thing is I actually think I felt this happen doing frontcrawl... I have 6 weeks until the event I can afford to lose a week of pace work. It's not like I'm going for a record here. Allen thanks as always for the great advice and tips. Rich
