Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments.

At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...

I try to swim distance and IMs. I've done this all of my life. I could do a pretty good 1650 and a good 100 IM. Doing a 100 fly though was always very rough on my lungs. I was never a good 50 sprinter. when I ran I always trained great distances. My upper body was never very powerful but my legs were. I used then a lot for fly kicking.
I think that it might be possible to do distance and work your 100s. but since most people don't breath during a 50, why would lung functions really matter?
