In another thread, the Fortress mentioned that her former coach thought that 25,000 yards or meters was a so-called "tipping point" for real aerobic conditioning/fitness in swimming. What does everyone think? It seems like a lot of yardage that is probably not necessarily for a pure sprinter. But what if you're a distance or OW geek or swimming the 400 IM or 200 fly? Is 25,000 the magic number? It seems like many forumites must be hitting that number because I have read about quite a few 5,000+ workouts. So, what is the "tipping point?"
Somewhere there is a very funny post by GoodSmith where he postulated that you could add tenths to a 50 at a meet depending on the individual variables:
.....2 hangover
My 50 fly pb last month was on a hangover. A friend and I drank way too much wine the night before. The fly was 1st. Probably why the later races didn't go as well.:rofl: :rofl:
