If not, welcome anyway! But, remember, it's not a question of "the right thing to do," rather, it's what is comfortable for you. If you like doing all of these, then the better for you. Cheers! Mark

I swam it all as a kid....but LIKED sprints the best. Now...due to replaced right hip...(cannot get off the blocks as fast the comp) I am a distance guy. I can hide the slow start in the 1650/1500....I cannot do that in the 50/100200's...Not enough time to make it up. Kindest regards Tom Ellison

Tom-- I don't seem to have the same raw speed I had when I was younger. I do think my form is better now, plus the body suit also seems to help me--possibly by compacting my middle aged body into a facsimile of its younger self, i.e., back when muscles themselves girdled me into a cylinder! Now I need suit technology to do so. Anyhow, I have read that the best marathoners are in their 30s; and the best sprinters (in running, at least) tend to be a lot younger. Perhaps the fast twitch muscles go more quickly with age than the slow twitch. Not sure what else I can make of the results of this poll so far.
