As I've mentioned ad naseum i've been training since January for a meet this coming Sunday. I'm only doing 50y events at this time. My question is over the last week I have lowered the total yardage I have done each night but have added more speed type work and 25/50y sprints. If you have 5 days till your meet how would you plan out your workouts if you plan on hitting the pool 3 of those days?
Your nervous system needs at least as much rest as your muscles. All out sprints within 2 or 3 days of a focus meet are probably counter productive. This is also true o f your meet warm up. Don't do more than 1 or 2 short breakouts, maybe 4 or 5 strokes.
This is very true, the central nervous system needs time to recover. It is a large bodily system that consumes alot of energy and needs rest. I remember reading about this regarding track sprinting.
