Thanks you. These are very kind words.
I feel guilty that I don't blog, but I feel like I would be adding another hobby to an already long list. I don't mean to be secretive.
Ande is partially right. No, not about the Dara analogies - Dara is really in a league of her own. He's right, her 50 IS like a guy doing an 18 or 19 in yards.
I try to train often, aiming for 6 days a week and I try not to take off time between seasons. I do try to swim fast, frequently. There is some sprinting in every workout.
Training far? Not by some standards. I train between 3000 and 4500, probably averaging 3300 per workout. Training hard? Probably not by most standards. Most of my training is low aerobic (E1 or 65% of max heartrate) and the rest is high-intensity anaerobic - things like 6x100s all out on 5-6 minutes or 8x50's all out on long rest.
Mike Schmidt from Maine Masters is really the brains behind my training. He has been writing me workouts since we first met at Savannah a few summers ago. Schmidt is a smart guy who learned to be curious about swimming from Ernie Maglischo. By the way, if anyone is in contact with Ernie, please tell him that at least one master swimmer owes him a great deal of thanks. Ernie's book, Swimming Fastest, has answered enumerable questions that I have had and I recommend it to all.
Thanks for sharing, Mike. I especially enjoyed the 100 back! Wish I could have seen the 50s ... would have enjoyed the 50 dolphin-free. Can I ask if/how often you're lifting and what % of your workouts are kicking? Any other cross training?
Thanks for introducing me to Mike. His workouts sound fabulous, albeit painful.
