But is this what you recommend for 50s & 100s? Fortress, I am pretty sure that it is actually what you do.
What's your avg weekly volume (over a season)? I am sure that the answer to this question will be much higher than the actual work done in the anaerobic capacity spectrum.
Believe it or not, my acutal weekly volume, that I can sustain without getting injured or overtrained is around 9-10k. So in Cycling world's definitions, I maintain a Base of 10/7 = 1.42 kilo per day.
It has been good enough to allow me to earn 3 podiums at 50/100/200 butterfly at our last Provincial Championship (30.4, 1:14.5, 3:17 - outch). Now I tackle on the 1500, in hope of a podium at the nationals (either in 1500 or 200 fly). That base is way too low. I intend to grow it up to 15k per week, or 2.14 kilo per day.
In prep for my main event, I will let it drop down to the minimal level required to peak. This is how performance modeling is achieve nowadays in the cycling community. Then if I fail, I will have to revise this approach for season 2012.
