Coaches and Sprinting

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?

  • Thank god, Chris. Finally you are talking sense! I hadn't thought about the sniffing of the suit, but I now plan to sleep the night before with the B70 wrapped tight as a sleep hat around my head, mouth, and nostrils. Just as the magic shoes helped that clod footed ballerina dance as if inspired by the gods themselves, look for a slightly less mediocre than usual performance from this aging Zonesman this weekend! Unlike Mohammad Ali, I will not predict exactly what round my old PR for the 200 freestyle will fall. But you might want to look at me at the 137 yard point in the race, at which point I can virtually guarantee that the elapsed time will be less than my lifetime best final time for the 200!
