Can speed practice alone help long distance endurance?
Former Member
If I only practice to improve the speed in short distance, will it help increase the endurance needed for long distance? In other words, say I have trained for several months for (only) speed, could I, one day, suddenly find myself swimming long distance without feeling tired?
(Obviously the opposite is not true: simply being able to swim slow long distance doesn't help improve the speed.)

chaos, do you do the other 10% (long distance) all in OW, or some in pools?
depends on the time of year. BTW, 10% was just a # i pulled out of my hat. from may to sept, i probably spend 70% or more of my practice time in OW
