How much endurance training?

Rich: Are you looking in the mirror at yourself? Those are mirrored goggles, dude, for swimming outside. No Dude...if the competition can't see my eyes...they can't know what I have in mind...and hey maybe I wanna "look around" during my pullout practice. I told you about T-back Girl.... ISo Rich, what's your take on proper ratio of technique to endurance training. Have you grasped an opinion from the thread or from your own training? Forkless, are you trying to imply I am not a serious swimmer, and that my jests really indicate a lack of mindfulness? I'd say 50/50 s a good starting point. Say 800YDs of each. Then after a decent standard is achieved, working toward a meet maybe60/40 towards endurance/techinique (all aspects of the race) 1200/800 (don't reduce the "base" amount). Post season /meet go back to 50/50 1000Y of each or something. You can do this on a per session basis or alternating days. The key practice your technique and look to add the speed to good technique. Intensity in your endurance work, not yards. Now GURUS off all persuasions, can anyone tell me what part of excuting proper technique is not connected to building endurance? I can swim a mile of breaststroke really badly and slowly. I can swim a beautiful 50/100/200 nice and slow too. Sprint wise I have got my 25 under my belt with speed and grace...after that it begins to slow or get real sloppy. I see all this as yin and yang (or whatever) one without the other is only half. Any how: Big dramatic thread today Kaizen vs All-comers, 15 3 minutes rounds, of gruelling, muscle wrenching, mindful, grasping, Speedo straining wrestling! I love to have a bit of humour... Peace out..Rich "One Love" "Can't we all get along?" "Shut-up!Just shut-up! You had me at hello!" "Nobody puts baby in the corner!" "I just can't quit you" etc etc etc
