I was just wondering, how many of you typically enter the maximum number of events that you can? I always do. One of our new coaches wants us to try and focus more on our "stronger events" and skip the other events. I usually like to see how well I might do in a event I haven't done in awhile.
Plus, lactate tolerance training is generally counter-productive for me or other sprinters.
Unless the sprinter in question is only interested in 50s and doesn't care about improving his/her ability to recover from races, I disagree with that statement.
My statement is probably worth the paper it is printed on...but Maglischo lists lactate tolerance as one of the three types of training for sprinters (I don't have the book here at work, I think it was Sp-1).
It may not be important for 50s (although maybe a little in LCM 50s), but for 100s you definitely need some. Ask Paul Wolf about his 100 fly at Clovis -- or better yet, look up the video -- a fine example of lactate INtolerance! :)
