To quote Gull: What is the right mix of technique and endurance for a Masters athlete (who wants to be competitive, say, at Nationals) with a finite amount of time to train?
Fortress, maybe you want to join John, myself and Rich Saeger for one of the next nationals when we'll all become breaststrokers?! Hey....at the least it would be some good humor and interesting beer bets!!
Paul:
You spin your extra yardage, and I run it. I guess you, Allen and I are largely in the same sprinter-type speedboat, except when you shift to middle distance events than you have to train more than us.
I guess you didn't read the "Why do masters swimmers hate breaststroke thread." :rofl: I actually signed up for the 50 *** at SCY Nats last May having made cuts. I thought it would be a good warm up, but decided to sleep in instead. My fly/back events were the better for it, I believe. If Allen could teach me breaststroke my 100 IM might be even remotely evenly split .... Evil-GoodSmith must be really bored these days if all he does is freestyle.
Scott:
Welcome to the forum! I've listened to your podcasts. Gull, the originator of the designated topic is a middle distance freestyler. I am a whimpy sprinter focusing on 50s and 100s especially fly/back. I suspect you know about Paul and Allen.
