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?
I think it is easier to not have to think about what you are doing in the water if you start at a younger age. When starting as an adult, nothing is natural, water is a very foreign element. I find if I don't think about what I am doing every minute in the water, then things go downhill fast. How do I know? Because I don't think about what I am doing in the water every minute!
Anyway, this thread is about endurance training and building up to nationals in 18 weeks.....back to topic.
