    Better late than never... this winters 400TT table. Track your progress, write a few words on what worked and what didn't, push yourself to faster times. Four fast hundreds, evenly paced... easy as pie!

    I haven't been swimming in a couple of weeks, and only twice a week for the months before. Guess what, form goes to pot quickly, surprise surprise. This was a lesson in how not to do 400's. I went off too fast, died towards the end, with horrible form throughout. It can only get better from here!

    Did a 500m TT in 8:49 nice and steady almost even 1:45 so going to call it 7 flat but think I may have been more 7:04ish not sure.

    Had a look on garmin today. 7:01 for the first 400

    One Swim a week for the last months and it shows. Need to do better

    Someone might educate me on how to update a table on this thing. Took off like a rocket and then faded badly is the brief summary. 1.35, 1.45, 1.50, 1.47. My pb is 6.35 so hoping to better that this year and hopefully get into the 12.xx for a sprint tri, maybe Nenagh in April. Been swimming at least twice a week since October so no excuses, just need to crack on. Will try again the week before xmas before the feeding begins.

    Quote the table, and remove the {Quote}, {/Quote} parts.
    You'll see line that look like :

    done mid nov. as part of a 8 x 200 on 3.20 set, ran the last 2 together to speed things up.
    first 200 1.33, 1.34 as per set, then just keep going and speeded up a bit. not really a tt but a decent base to work from

    100m splits; 1:26, 1:34, 1:36, 1:37

    This was done at one of PK's sessions. Things felt very controlled for the first 200m and it was only when I consciously began to kick harder after halfway that it began to pinch. I think I've swam 400m quicker before, but I can't find any record of it, so this might be a PB. We were given a 50m TT to do less than 5 minutes beforehand, for which I clocked 37.5". This was definitely a PB and I'm guessing it ideally prepped the body for the exertions of the 400m TT that followed.

    Done in early December. 100m splits; 1:34, 1.36, 1.42, 1.36. I purposely slowed down on the third 100m to recover a bit. 6.28 matches my best ever 50m pool time from a few years ago and is due to some consistent pool time this year (just over 300k swam this year). Was diagnosed with a torn hamstring the next day so all swimming since has been with a PB - I've found out I'm much faster with a PB.

    I never recorded sub 6 before without a pb(I consistently swim 5.55 +/-2 s with pb) I did not want to go too hard and blow up.
    I was nt too confident that I would hit the times
    It might be different next time as I know I can do it now. im still learning

    Are you just basing that judgement on his splits?

    Incidentally Ger, I'd imagine there's even more than that.

    yes,
    i dont know him ,but there is a few giveaways in them splits.
    and i would not disagree with your assestment that there is more.but 4-5 sec i was happy to call. more would be speculation

    btw zico since we are at swimming , well done today. another little step in the right direction.
