Michael Andrew’s 1:55.26 200 IM In A Flash

[dr.shrimppuertorico]

Everybody says "oh Andrew doesnt train hard enough, he needs more endurance and more aerobic volume" try repping out 60x50 200 pace with 20 seconds rest. Andrew must have the best pain tolerance in the game. Im convinced its his flat freestyle stroke that really kills him at the end he breathes and he basically stops.

Andrew's train is leaving, and he did not live up to the hype.
His and his father obsession ( almost like a cult ) about race pace training deny him of the opportunity of being an elite Olympic swimmer.
Instead he can only swim 50s and that's not good for the most important meet of all meets, the one that takes place every 4 years.
