Here's the deal.
I can only swim 50 min to one hour a day, which equates to at most 2000 yards for endurance work and 1500 yards for faster interval work with more rest.
I feel guilty when I read about other peoples yardage. Is anyone putting up some fast freestyle times with this little yardage? If so, what are the times? I really want to know.
I didn't wanna start a new thread so I figured I would just dig up an old one that was the same topic. I"ve been doing some reading lately about doing aerobic work outside of the pool, ie. running, biking,, etc, and I was just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are about it. There is a similar debate on the race club forum but I wanted to hear from a wider range of people rather than just sprinters.
I'm an ex-runner and I still run. I have to -- can't do mega yardage because of shoulder issues. Plus, I like it. (I'll have to go see what the Race Club says about it now, as I'm a sprinter and I am now intrigued.)
We had a big debate on the running issue a few months ago which can be found at:

I think there was a poll started shortly after that thread too. I'd have to hunt for that one.
I don't know about biking, as I don't do it. I do know that Allen Stark bikes a lot to save the knees and Jim Clemmons was a cyclist before he became a world champion. Maybe others can comment on cycling.
