Is there some kind of new thread vortex here today? I started a thread a couple hours ago about a new swimming web site I found and now I don't see it (the thread, that is). What the heck happened to it? I'm pretty sure I'm not losing my mind. Did anyone else see it?
Ande posted a site on Saturday which was really interesting. It too was banished, but probably done out of fair and balanced moderating.
It must have breached the forum rules about advertisements and links which are embedded to the site. Too bad.
They had a video clip showing Eddie Reese and his college team doing a grueling practice. Great stuff.
The Reese practice video was amazing.
I like the set Eddie mentioned the set shown was based on. He said he has his distance swimmers do this one sometimes:
10 x (200 on 2:00, 175 on 2:00)
3,750 yards in 40 minutes. People are always looking for a good lunchtime workout here. How about that one? :D
OK, probably a little tough, although change it to a 175 and a 150 both on 2:00 and some masters swimmers could make it. That would make the total 3,250 yards.
Eddie said that the fact that his swimmers were doing so well in workout meant that they were doing what they needed to out of the pool too.....eating right, getting enough sleep and taking their supplements. I wonder what supplements they take....I want some! ;)

hmmm, 200 on 2:00... i guess i am supposed to shave, taper, wear a fs2, cap, fins and paddles, and dive off the blocks to make that one! eek! I'd be surprised if I made the interval any time past the first round, even with all the toys! the 175s would certainly be a challenge on that interval as well. Tough stuff!
Interesting site. The intervals could be modified, but then it would take more than 40 minutes to finish.
Did you hear what he said about the importance of starting young? He believes that is when your aerobic development occurs.
The site had some interesting interviews on it. It is too bad that it violated forum rules. The Reese practice video was amazing.
It was so inspirational...I tried going 300 backs on the 3:30 schedule this morning.
That was a wake-up call. :D
How about the :48 100 free by Ricky Berens towards the end of that set? Sheeesh.
