Any ideas on how to adopt training setup for different age groups in masters?

My idea was that 25-30 year olds should maybe not train in the same way as 40-45 or 65-70 ideally (if given same amount of available time for practice). Should you typically go down on yardage per day but keep number of days? Should you typically go down on yardage and increase weight lifting? etc etc Any input anyone? /Per

  • I have been told by some cardiologists and physiologists that the efficiency of the heart (read volume per beat) increases until the heart rate reaches about 180. After that it remains constant. Similarly, I have been told to, if you can and you don't have heart problems, getting your heart rate above that is good since it isn't going to be a factor limiting the amount of work one can do. (I have also been told to follow the silly .80*(220-age) but I would be in the 130 range now at 53 YOA :) ) I am getting back into the water after a couple of tough years of not being able to do so. I am pleased that I have been able to get my heart rate up in the mid 190's during a hard set that I really push at the end. 10 years ago, I would push it up to about 220. Recovery isn't what it use to be but it is getting better.
