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?

    Quick - I should have mentioned (and will go edit that now) that I was doing everything freestyle, but thanks!!!:cheerleader: That is certainly a great 2back time, eh? Maybe I'll be doing that after I move to Texas and start training with Ande and Tyler. It's easy...just roll over. The ceiling at our pool is much more interesting than the bottom of the pool...with all those hair tumble weeds. And you can breathe all you like when backstroking!
