04/27/06 Breast Working on Some Speed

Posted by Barbara Hummel on Apr 27, 2006 10:07AM (1,533 views)
WARMUP: 900
Twice through the following -- once with fins, once with no fins:
50 dolphin
50 flutter
50 dolphin
200 back/free

200 EZ breast kick all positions

MAIN SET: 1600
Tried to work the kick portions of this, and use the 200s as recovery.

1 X 200 breast kick with Zura Sidekick -- second 100 faster than first 100 [went 1:58 +1:52 = 3:50]

200 "IM" with pull buoy -- 25 kick/25 scull in each stroke

2 X 100 breast kick with regular kickboard on 2:15 descend [went 1:40...1:35]

200 freestyle pull with pull buoy, breathing every 2/every 5

4 X 50 breast kick with regular kickboard on 1:05 descend [went 47...47...47...46]

200 freestyle pull, breathing every 2/every 5

4 X 25 breast on :30 sendoff (or :10 RI). Used a Tempo Trainer set to beep every 10 seconds. [went 20...20...20...19] Was going to call it quits after the 4 X 25, but my stroke was starting to feel good on the 4th 25 and I wanted to try to capture the timing again, so decided to do a recovery swim and try the set again with more rest...

200 EZ backstroke

4 X 25 breast on :40 sendoff. Used TT again. [went 19...19...19...19]

WARMDOWN: 300
200 Freestyle pull
100 breast kick with Zura Sidekick

Total Yardage: 2800

Hi Barbara. I have used a pull buoy for breaststroke kick but not for the other stroke kicks. How does it work and what should you be thinking about with each one (like how when I kick breast with a buoy I try to think about a narrow, powerful kick)? Thanks!
