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.

I hate to plug it, but it's on the topic so... You should tune in to the episode of Deck Pass with Jason as our guest. We discuss his training yardage as well as his training alone.
On another note, I've talked many times with Jason about his training philosophy, and he's really on par, I think. With him it's all about quality, but he also derives much of his talent from what he does outside of the pool. He lives his training with everything he does throughout the day dedicated in some way toward making him a better athlete. I'm a big fan!
