I have a Tri relay coming up that I do every year and I typically warm up maybe 600-1000 yds and then it is usually at least 30-45 minutes of standing around before the wave goes off.
My question is, does a warm up last 30-45 minutes even though the pulse is at rest? I've heard of coaches who have asked their swimmers to go hard without warm up. Of course in a pool I don't have time to warm up and then sit for 30 minutes, so is going hard without a warmup of any kind a training technique with benefit, or should it be avoided due to injury or potential heart attack?
Warmed up and it was about 20 minutes of waiting, so it was not too bad. Those starts are rediculous though. I had people trying to climb over me for the first 50-100 yds. I had to really push to seperate, but then I could back off and recover. It would be good practice to do all out 100's followed by a recovery 200 without rest to simulate a race start.
