  • Are you talking about the same guy who, last year, wrote the following? Do we have it (training) all wrong? - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums "The longest workout we have ever done - not counting warm up and warm down - would be under 20min, I think we have never worked more than 20min. That's not counting the Fall phase.” So here's my challenge...I'm going to pick one of the next seasons (either SCM this fall or SCY in the spring) and try and adapt to this regime...anyone else game? If so, maybe some "garbage yardage" would lift him out of the dumps ...
