I'm interested to know what kind of workouts people are doing who are preparing for 200 back, long or short course. I'm interested primarily because I'm pretty much incapable of approaching the distances and volume that Ande has been doing recently. What are the rest of you doing? Are you gunning for a top 10 time, a National Qualifying Time, a PB, or are you just trying to stave off a precipitous decline in speed? What is the longest interval you'll do with any frequency? Do you ever get up to the 800's that Ande is posting?

    Thanks for posting that workout Sam. I'm going to try it this week. The 1:10's may be touch and go. That's an excellent 200 race strategy by the way. A typical set of 100's that I do once a week... 1 on 1:30 1 on 1:20 1 on 1:15 repeated 8 times. For 200 training... 1 x 200 on 2:40 2 x 100 on 1:20 4 x 50 on :40 repeated 4 times
