After reading alot of threads, it seems my volume and frequency is way lower than everyone elses. My freestyle workouts are typically no more than 1500 to 1700 yards. If it is a repeat workout, then it is less (i.e. 10x100, 5x200, 2x500....etc) I swim three times a week.
My fly, *** and back workouts are no more than 1000 yds (still learning those strokes).
I am biased towards the sprints like 100 free and maybe someday if I'm lucky the 200 IM. Is this volume OK for a 42 year old, or should I be trying to build in more yardage?

He also did so while racing in a manner that reminds me of Maurice Greene, coming from what seemed hopelessly behind at 85m to win quite a few important 100m races.
So I'm enormously curious about anything I can glean that might have contributed to those incredible accomplishments.
Just a point Terry, Is it possible that being hopelessly behind at 85m then winning the other swimmers had gone out too fast. I have seen many a horse race where the front runner seems to put on the brakes and slows down and the horse coming from behind did not go any faster but seemed to walk past the horse that was in front.
