you're probably spending too much time on technique
I'd work on speed, SDK and conditioning
But isn't it the case that a relative newcomer to swimming like Robert or myself can achieve 50m free times in the 30s range by "muscling" our way through it while the same inefficient effort can't be extended out to the 200m range? That inefficient technique will result in bigger drop offs as distance increases?
I have been working on the assumption that my 50m fly wasn't going to get much faster without improving my technique, and that I would never do a decent 100 or 200 without big technique improvements. So I've been concentrating my limited pool time on technique, and concentrating on the 50 distance, am I on the wrong track?
