Subject: Kick training in the pool

I have just set off with the 20 week half ironman programme with 17 weeks to go?!?  I know i can do it and will drop a couple of weeks early on so i can get back into Sync with the plan.

My question is regarding the swim part and in particular the kick sections.  I have noticed that a few weeks in the pool session asks you to do 500m kick.  Now i dont know if its just me, but that seems like hell to me.  My pool do not allow me to use training fins, so i was wondering if there were any alternative ways in which i could do this part of the swim session.  I was thinking to kick with breaststroke arms and front crawl kick... I can see me getting lazy with my legs though?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You'd be better off posting this in tri talk.  But, my plan I used had some crazy kick sets too every now and then.  I say stick to the plan.  They are not actually meant to be done with fins so that is no issue.  But, you could mix it up and do some of it without the kick board and some with.
