The Fastest Age

So the question for Glenn is how do your workouts today compare to those from College (are you doing less yardage now than you did in college yet swimming faster ? maybe look at the type of workouts (more technique and specific swimming ?). I talked to Loren Myhre, he worked with Doc Counsilman in preparing the swimmers for the Mexico Olympics. The highest VO2 readings come from endurance athletes (mostly marathon runners and cross country skiers) in their late 20's and 30's. I'm still guessing that the major time improvements are coming from technique (ie better starts and turns, stream lining and efficient swimming) IMHO.
