Practicing Racing Starts
Start with 3 strokes
Build up to 10s
Ensure you include starts in your race warmup
Set a target race rate you want to hit - and make sure you do it
Practice the first 3 strokes - they are slower than you think.
Before doing starts in training - do some power strokes to get in the mindset of working hard.
