He never says swimmers should train more than once per day, does he? well, I'm a french speaking person apologies for this. I thought daily meant every day ;-)
Seriously, Rushall doesn't publish for Masters. It is very important to understand that to better apply his theories. Swimmers do train every day obviously, like I said, they generally train twice a day for at least 3-4 days in the week, and take a full day off. 6+3 = 9, 6+4 = 10.
Yes, but drills are more or less antithetical to his whole position on training since drills are being done at a sub-optimal speed. I believe Rushall would say a skill done at a slow speed isn't going to carry over to race-pace, thus it is not effective. I will admit I'm making an assumption here, too, since he doesn't directly address drills in the paper.
Like I said guys, Rushall is an activist, but a smart one. The day he will publish a paper in which he advocate abandoning drill work, this guy will loose all his credibility (not that he has a lot btw, since he's an activist. some coaches just don't buy Rushall's theories, and it's normal given the way he generally presents them).
