I'm kind of confused at the structure of this method. for example, a set would be 10x25 @ race pace of 50 free. say your 50 free is 22.00, so it would be 10x25 holding 11 on a 30 second interval. i believe this is flawed for one of two reasons. the first is that your 50 free incorporates a dive into the race. its kind of hard to touch, get out, get up on the blocks and be ready to go in 20 seconds. the second reason - lets just say that this swimmer can get out and be ready in 20 seconds to go again from the block - what happens when you get to the other end and there is no block? how do you adjust for no block? add 2 seconds maybe? but if you do - that is 2 more seconds of activity as opposed to rest. :afraid:
it just seems so vague.....
