Jason Lezak

Jesse: I would believe that he swims in the area of 4000 to 6000 and no more than that. This does not include dryland and weights in which he incorporates in his training. The reason I say this is because he swims for David Salo at Nova Aquatics and they train a little differently then say a club down the road called Mission Viejo. David Salo came out with a book that was titled "Sprint Salo" in 1989, detailing the type of high intensity workouts and why he feels a need to train swimmers this way in comparison to the traditional methods of the 1970's of more volume to build up the areobic base. Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's he was a guest coach a wrote a monthly piece for Swimming World magazine. A lot of his ideas were under fire because he wrote against traditional concepts of the day. Since then his ideas have been somewhat excepted but not by the traditionalists of say someone like Bob Bowman. I will provide a link with a story about this that I found called "Coaching To The Beat Of A Different Drummer". www.findarticles.com/.../ai_n14879156 Obviously there is more than one way to train for gold. Bob Bowman has certainly showed us that his methods are worthy of note. Similarly, Salo has turned our some champs as well..in this case, Jason Lezak.
