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?

(I also don't SDK because I suck at it) I am a much better long course swimmer because it is more swimming and less turns.
Personally I am banking on this (SDK's) to unlock the potential for faster swimming.
I get a bit winded...but my feeling is that the body can adapt to a certain work condition...the more it gets used to doing something.
The kids I've seen and coached at USA swim meets are literally kicking half of the pool... and coming in on some ridiculously fast times.
Monkey see...monkey do.
By the way...that is some seriously fast swimming...especially for a guy with three kids in tow.
Finding time to train ...let alone attend meets can be really tough in my opinion.
