  • Don't believe too much hype about the sprinters doing almost nothing in the pool, you need your aerobic base before you can train power/sprints. A lot of these online posters don't seem to understand that. We're not all bumbling dunderheads. I pretty routinely do "doubles," just not swimming doubles. I run, cycle, lift, etc. After my 8 mile run yesterday, I was in the gym for about an hour today and just swam 4000. Tomorrow, I'm going to spin and do a lactate set. Paul Smith undertakes his "less is more" approach with a big dose of spinning. There are plenty of sprinters having success with lower yardage and cross training.
