I'll be training on my own until around the end of April, and I'm looking to swim the IM and was wondering if this sounds like a good training schedual?:help: I'll be swimming about an hour a day while lifting weight 3 days a week
monday - fly only
tuesday - IM
wednesday - backstroke only
thursday - IM
friday - *** only
saturday - IM
sunday - freestyle only
then the next week rotate so the IM starts on monday
monday - IM
tuesday - fly
wednesday - IM
thursday - Back
friday - IM
saturday - ***
sunday - IM
then start the next week with freestyle etc.
its my first year swimming:wiggle: so im looking for any feedback on a plan like this, im just trying to stay in shape and work on techniques for all strokes, until i start swimming for a team again.

This summer i'm looking to deffinatley swim the 200IM and possibly the 400IM, i've read on here that it was a good idea to concentrate on certain strokes at a time but maybe not 1 strokes for 1 day?, I'm really just looking to stay in shape for a couple of weeks until our teams training begins again... I honestly don't know what type of work outs to be doing i usually search for them on one of these 2 sites www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../www.ruthkazez.com/PreviousSwimWorkouts.html
I find ones that involve some sprints, kicks,drill work. and do anywhere from 1800 to 3000 SC meters in each of the hour workouts. I find it hard to push myself sometimes, especially when doing fly, i have very little endurance in it it might be because of my technique? i can complete a 50 but barley and i'll need plent of rest before the next one. I'm really excited to start swimming on a team again but until then i'm just trying to do as much as i can on my own, are you an IMer? if so what do you do for workouts?
