Where are the videos for the 500s?
Four. You prematurely fired this podcast as Curzan said hello again.
Where are all these times coming from? Technique, improved dryland methods, post Olympic inspiration, better application of work-rest cycle than in the past, suit design changes, race pace training protocols, limited intensity threshold, everyone else is going fast why not me, coaches developing better personalities on deck?? What about the Swedish bicarp product that is acknowledged to have an impact on track middle distance performances? It’s not cheating, so when is SS going to have an article on its use in swimming???
Looks like Lochte had the SCY 200 IM record from 2006-2015, so he did have the record in all 3 courses at the same time.
Don’t undersell. Add up ‘fastest ever’ relay splits as well, such as Kharun 50 Fly and Jordan Crooks 100 Free.
Going to need to do another breakdown after that 200 back AR from Claire Curzan.
She did it just to give Coleman more to talk about.
Is anyone more underrated than Julian Smith? Like genuinely
Dudes raw and so versatile
