I have heard that some Masters coaches are more interested in general fitness than speed.What is your experience? Do you feel that your coach prepares you to swim 50s and 100s?Is sprinting a regular part of practice at least once a week and if so do you do it as a main set or as an add on at the end?Do you do lactic acid sets?How much do you work on starts and turns?
Don't worry, Ian, I believe you, as I think weight lifting/sprint specific training accounts for some of my recent time drops. Jim still believes that there is "no scientific evidence" to support the proposition that weight lifting helps sprinting. We who lift believe this is a rationalization for him to avoid picking up anything more than a 3 pound weight.
Congrats on your impressive swimming!
