How can one truly know what swimming distances one is best suited for? Can it be possible that somebody is better suited for distance but it is not showing due to low yardage in training? Are there some quick ways to figure this out?
Wow! So many good tips and comments to think about. O.k. I took my best times from the last five years and used the calculator that Chris referenced. I got 89.4 for my 50 and 88.1 for my 500. These times were done doing about 10,000 yards a week.
If I really want to see what I am capable of doing in the 500, how much should I be doing? This is not an event I have done very often and I have never done anything more than a 500 in a meet before. Is it worth it for me to train for the 1650?
