My own personal aerobic/anaerobic balance for 100/200 butterfly is 1.38, but that's because I could qualify for being the top wuss on this forum. Well add to it that my aerobic base for the season 2009/2010 did not exceed 1000m/d (7000m/week iow). Way too low. 30.4 over 50, 3:17 over 200 :D
Based on my time over 50 (30.4), I know I'll need to bring my aerobic/anaerobic balance down to.... 1.17 (surprised?) to have a chance for a podium at the nationals since my goal would be to take the sucker down to 2:35.
I think you can get that 200 time down without much increase in your weekly volume. My typical volume is only 10000-12000 yards/week, which isn't much more than yours.
"my goal would be"
Do or do not! There is no try!
