  • Hey you, Tall Paul, I'm pretty good at taking advice and am darn decent with the going slow, going fast thing! I don't do super hard core work in the pool more than 3x a week, probably less. I like to do recovery, drill and hypoxic type stuff too. So :thhbbb: What's SVDL's typical workout in the pool? SVDL is on record as saying she only works out 3x a week and that's "pretty darn good" for a mom. I just don't think 3x a week is representative of WR holders. I ideally prefer 6x a week with some "doubles" for fitness. Yesterday, I did a 30 minute run and a good sprint workout. Today, I did an hour of weights/core and 30 minutes of cycling. Tomorrow, I'm going to my team LC workout for some aerobic work. Etc. I do have a week of scuba and snorkel planned too. :) Am I really training that differently than you, eh? You're swimming, spinning, lifting, running stadium steps, doing yoga. Hmm.... Caroline and Kim and Laura look great! Although I swam right next to Caroline in the 100 back at Nats, where I met her, and I think she's more tall and slim than "ripped." But the "guns" award has to go to AJ Block.
