Watching the worlds on Eurosport this week, I heard Drew Gordon talking about how training methods had shifted from slow pace short rest sets to long rest fast pace sets. He claimed swimmers nowadays first attempt to swim closer to race pace, before trying to pile up kilometers behind them.
I've been doing the opposite for the last two years, but I do consider changing my workouts now. Would like to hear what do you think/do and if elite swimmers do really prefer faster, longer sets.
Thanks in advance,
Gaal
