While they might never swim much faster than a 50 second stand-alone 100, they can hold 55's all day long and you don't see a huge difference in their pace for a 500, 1,000 or 1650.//
I agree, but this is a 30,000!! His best all out 1000 shaved, tapered, from a dive, and with the cheater suit was about 8;37. Someone mentioned that it would have been a brisk walk for him, I contend that it may have been the greatest workout of his life, if he in fact did do it as it was layer out here. That is about 19x 1650's, with two of them at about 15;30, and several more between there and 16 minutes. I too have seen some freaky distance guys, who can just hold this monster pace for a very long time. I guess he could have recovered enough on the slower ones, but in workout a 15;20+ would have to be all out i would imagine, and twice!
