Mixed course training

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of mixed course training. For example, short course yards for a couple of workouts and then long course meters for a couple of workouts (or even short course meters). While I think it’s advantageous to primarily train in the course you will be racing in for the season, I also think there are benefits to mixed course training. Your opinions?

    And these benefits are? The sheer joy of going from long course to turn after turn after turn... I have a love/hate relationship with turns. Short course to long course makes me feel like I'm cheating on my old reliable friend, the resting wall. I really miss my pal. When I go back to short course, ahhhhh, the world is one.
