would be interested in hearing theories on why masters national records have been broken without the fast suits but world-class swimmers have not. i always thought the fast suits helped us more than them
hey pat,
here's a few comments on your comments
Both of these statements can be and, IMHO, are simultaneously true . . . ,
They are
... but, I think Jeff's comment is spot on:
it is, Jim Wrote about it in this SFF comment
the nocebo effect or reverse placebo effect
Ande is spot on ...
thanks, I've done it. others have too. it isn't easy. but it's possible. I hope I can keep improving. I tend to change focus events.
2008 was speed and strength
2009 & 10 was longer stuff
2011 was longer stuff but coming around back to speed and strength
... and I hope to prove it to myself because, if I want to break any of the tough 45-49 National records when I age up next year, I'll need to swim faster faster!
Good Luck with your record breaking quest.
