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?
Sorry Fort. I have nothing against levity,things had just gotten too personal for my taste. As to training for the 200 IM,my jocular response would be to say lobby FINA to change the IM to require whip kick on each leg. My serious answer would be to spend part of each workout working on one of the strokes and one workout working on all 4. Figure out the goal split for each 50 and practice the stroke section of each workout at that pace.Do enough oneach one until you feel that pace and have the endurance to keep it up for a set of 100s. Work especially on your worst stroke. I'd guess that 5X100 each stroke and 5X100 of broken IM's "mindfully" would be sufficient as part of your regular workout.
