On frequent occasions, I feel my form fall apart on tougher sets, but I finish regardless of my form. I feel it is more important to force my body to undergo the physiological adaptation resulting from these "near death" sets than to worry about maintaining form.
As long as I imprint the correct form in less strenuous sets I feel it is OK to gut tougher sets out when my form is falling apart. Many times I finish my workout with some shorter repeats to finish and leave the pool with the correct form imprinted in my mind.
This post is as a result of one of today's sets where I simply did not want to "give up" and switch from fly to free. I felt it was important to finish it the way I intended to give me a metal boost that I can do it as well as force the body to adapt. Is this mentality towards training wrong?

I haven't seen footage of pros falling apart at the end of their race. They're in control
Must take alot of work to get like that
Watch Michael Phelps 200 Fly from the last Duel in the Pool. He started to get Alligator arms a bit on the last 50. While not a total loss of control you can feel his pain as you watch it.:D
