    So Coach T. What is your conclusion. If I am a 50/100 specialist. Elite level. Should I bother doing any aerobic work at all? The author of the article quote a volume of 6k per day as being too much, without proposing any alternative. Your opinion. What should be the weekly volume of an Elite Level 50/100 specialist? Elite sprinters in swimming are like all sprinters, strong and fast and without a need for high volume aerobic work. How much aerobic capacity do you need for any sub-minute bout? I'd like to give you a specific amount of training yardage but I think you need to hear it from a world class sprinter. 6K per day with a majority of it going toward technical improvement isn't out of the question but a high intensity 6K ~ I don't think so. Good luck! Coach T.
