In swimming, how is it that one can excel in both sprints and long distance? Is it because the distance games in swimming are only "relatively" distance games but are not really distance games from a physiologic perspective?
In the world of tracks, for example, an athlete cannot excel at both sprints and distance. Even the athletes from the two areas look different - much leaner for the distance runners and muscular for the sprinters.
I am wondering about this because whether I should focus on either the sprint or the distance as I plan to participate in the masters meet, or whether I don't have to sacrifice one for the other.
Judging by the splits of the 200 and 400, you'd say I am a sprinter. Then you look at the 50 time :D
It probably doesn't work for everyone. I would suggest, however, that was just a very poorly split 200. The 400 was better, but I think you went a little too fast on the first 100.
