How long until mixing it up becomes monotonous? Most coaches aren't that creative to begin with. Hopping out of the pool and doing dry lands mid workout sounds fun if I am 16yo and it is a peak yardage time for an afternoon workout. But when I have 3 coached workouts available a week, and each workout is no more than 75 minutes, why would I want to give up water time?
I am not against the idea, but I don't think it will work for most masters teams.
Yep, now that we have resolved the essential beer gut fat issue, only the pure athleticism dispute remains... and suits. :)
True enough. If you've only got 75 minutes, there's not enough time for serious drylands and you should probably do them separately. For USA swimmers, these are usually done in the context of a 2-3 hour workout.
Did we really resolve the beer gut issue?
