aerobic sets which makes sprinters puny and weak

Phil, I typically train more aerobic based training with a focus on the 200.......in 2004 evil goodsmith pushed me to change my ways and train for the 50 and be part of the 200 free relay he had coaxed Rowdy to join. Basically the training was exactly as he and Ande have decsribed.....lots of short distance/high rest speed work and heavy on the weights......and technique, technique, technique (changing turnover ratio, higher elbows, lots of turn/start training. Bottom line is I dropped to 20.9 & 45.9 in the freestyles and 50.2 in the fly. the interesting part was didn't lose a lot of my base.....I was able to drop to 1:57 in the IM. So my "challenge" to all the so called aerobic animals out there is step up and do some speed work......try a 6-8 beat kick for once in your life!!
