Here's the deal.
I can only swim 50 min to one hour a day, which equates to at most 2000 yards for endurance work and 1500 yards for faster interval work with more rest.
I feel guilty when I read about other peoples yardage. Is anyone putting up some fast freestyle times with this little yardage? If so, what are the times? I really want to know.
Warren,
You just prove to me that it can be done. Also, for someone like Lezak, that can't be alot of yardage for an olympian. I think Gary Hall Jr. also wrote about doing mindless volume and how it interfered with going fast.
Another question,
Why is it I never hear of sprinters doing full recovery? and by that I mean at least 10 minutes between 100's. If we are going to do anaerobic workouts, doesn't it make sense to buffer that lactic acid between reps so that quality and intensity can be maintained with each rep?
This leads to low volume workouts!! I don't think sprinters should be guilty of 2000 yd workouts. At least 41 yr old ones anyway.
