I read somewhere that Jason Lezak only swims 4,000 yds/meters a day. Has anyone else heard this? I don't see how an athlete of his caliber can get by on such little yardage. It seems like if he bumped it up some he could be faster than he already is. I swim more than that and I'm nowhere near as fast as him lol.
That is exactly why there was such an outburst back in 1988/1989 when the articles about High Intensity Training appeared in Swimming World and then the book came out shortly after.
I remember the outcry, but I don't remember who the key players were at the time. My recollection is reading a story in Swimming World about a coach who thought about 3,000 per workout was all that was needed and went on to describe how he trained his swimmers in this manner. Was this Salo or someone else?
