Just bare in mind, in case that your coach might schedule some hard aerobic work on tight intervals that these will also greatly help your performances over 100. Anaerobic capacity is highly dependent on Aerobic capacity. Like Q mentioned, passed a certain point, these two may conflict with each other but very few members here will ever reach this point in my opinion.
How can this be read and understood? Simple. Your 200free will help your 100free. Like you may guess, the 200free does so by allowing you to finish your 100 stronger. Training isn't that complicated after all. It all depends on the angle from which we look at it.
I train 95% solo except for a couple months in the summer. I'd rather do the nastiest lactate set than do hard short rest intervals on my own.
I swam one 200 this year, and retired from that distance.
The "train 200 for the 100" is too conventional for me ... And I sort of train the opposite way you suggest. I work on fast 25s for my 50s and fast 50s for my 50s and 100s. I almost never swim fly in practice and 100 fly was my best event at Nats. Different strokes ...
