So in case this yields the question as to what is the Base exactly? Simply speaking, it is your ability to perform work. The more work you can perform, the more work you'll be able to perform, regardless of the composition of this work. Like I explained in a few earlier posts, Cyclists (who I believe have an edge, at least in their ability to precisely quantify the magnitude of your Base) now call this: Chronic (read weekly) Training Load.
I don't think I've seen it described this way before, at least in a swimming context. Interesting idea.
