during the last 6 moths I have been working hardcore on my 50s, (I used to work mostly 100-200-400, many 50s but almost never did them fully rested)
So my workouts have been about the same time-length, but with less meters, I have been doing lots of 25s, 50s, 75s, very few 200, and rarely 400+ (just for warm up)
last month I started with my old workouts again (traininng for the 200 free/IM, and 400 free/IM (after dropping 1 sec in my 50 free and 2 sec in my 50 fly)
Today I timed my 200 free and the time was pretty bad, I timed 2: 16 high
This month, last year, my time was about 2:09-2:10
So my 50 free is 1 sec faster (about 26 high, used to be 28), and my 200 free is 7 sec slower...:bitching:
My splits are always almost even, +-1 sec, the last one was 34..something each.
You are experiencing the principle of specificity.
Different types of training cause different energy systems to adapt.
That is why drop dead 50 sprinters don't do much else. There is always a sacrifice in life. You can't do everything.
