The Fastest Age

Originally posted by lefty ... If your problem is with Ion personally, then why attack his theory and ideas? Are you unable to seperate the two? Looks like she is unable to separate the two. She wrote: Originally posted by Conniekat8 Sorry Ion, I really don't give much attention to this late bloomer thing, even if I am one. ... but she is contradicting herself by getting into this 'late bloomer' discussion just to argue. Me, when I see this: Originally posted by gull80 ... If you start late, have you forever lost the chance to reach your highest possible VO2max? If you start at a young age, then leave the sport for fifteen or twenty years, can you readily regain the VO2max (and/or other training adaptations) that you had when you were younger? Or is it the technique that stays with you? Does anyone still care? I care about "...Does anyone still care?": as a late bloomer I am fast and I overtake a majority of lifelong USMS swimmers, but I would like to know and use more information to progress. Also the 'Foremost World Authority in Adult Swimming' should care about "...Does anyone still care?", but it doesn't.
