By this you mean that your rest does not allow for the aerobic system to fully recover right? Because anaerobic work pretty much requires the aerobic system to be at 100%.
1. Rushall is a professor, not a swim coach. He doesn't have to deal with boredom... or um... he is the producer of bor... :bolt:
2. He dislikes equipment because it has been show statistically to not improve performance, and thus a waste of time. He is not a coach and he has not studied non-elite swimmers. He doesn't have to keep swimmers engaged (the primary driver to toys) and he hasn't studied swimmers who can't achieve near competition speed at near competition distance.
3. I agree.
4. He is not against rehearsal swims. I would have to dig through his 8 million papers to find the details but he is pro racing and pro frequent shave and taper meets or the equivalent and anti trainForOneMeetAYear.
Since he is not a coach, he does not have to worry about keeping swimming interesting
Yes, that's what I meant, no adequate recovery. I get almost all my aerobic work derivatively through anaerobic efforts.
It's been statistically proven that equipment does not improve performance? Which types? Anecdotally, I am convinced my use of fins & monofin has improved my dolphin kick, and I can live with my non-empirical instincts on this one.
I am anti trainForOneMeetAYear, especially for us masters and for sprinters. I do drop tapers for every meet. Why race fatigued?
If swimming wasn't interesting, the # of masters would decline (and age groupers would choose other sports). We do not all have your tolerance for boredom. I was just discussing with His Geekity that masters swimmers are enthralled with patterns, though they likely have no intrinsic value.
