About 4 years ago, I met some swimmers in this forum that reguarly did high intensity, but short duration (like 1000 to 2000 yard) workouts. Over time, I lost touch with those swimmers. These swimmers, had some clever name for these types of workouts. Maybe some of you remember that clever name.
After 8 years of hard training, I want to really enjoy my swimming workouts and would like to try these type of workouts. All I really remember is that one swimmer did 10x100 free at high speeds, about 3x per week. Obviously, I can guess at other workouts.
I heard reports that one doesn't really need to do high volume workouts. I'm aware that all the big name swimming schools do swim high volume workouts.
I am thinking about starting a blog on blogger.com and recording these types of workouts--as well as the drylands that I do. I have recorded some test sets--so I'll be able to compare my progress (or will I regress). I anticipate about 2000 yards 3x per week (which includes warm up and cool down). I also anticipate some jogging and resistance training.
Let me hear your thoughts on the subject.
Thanks,
