The Fastest Age

They worked VERY hard and built their endurance up to compensate. But, I understand the point you are making. You just shouldn't categorize sprinters as a whole as being lazy and having poor technique. I kinda take that personal because I am a sprinter/middle distance swimmer. I constantly work hard and on my technique! You're reading too much into what I said. I never said sprinters were lazy and all have bad technique. I said I've known many that were fast and had bad technique. Many of those with bad technique and fast, did work hard in practice. I've also known sprinters with good technique that were slow - aka me ;)
