Ultra Short Training At Race Pace

For an age group swimmer training every day using this training method Rushall might be right, but for a masters swimmer, especially if they train 3 or 4 times a week they should notice a big improvement from lifting weights, or at least I have. There are also studies showing weightlifting or higher resistance swim training make swimmers faster so I think Rushall is wrong on this one. I honestly couldn't agree more. More strength = More you can catch in water = More efficient = Get tired less It's pretty obvious logic. I suppose I might have mis read though. He did use a quote which said that Dryland training is not related to performance in competition. One of my major concerns is how do you do this for a lot of events? Like I'll be training 8-9 events, ( just a made up example) 50 Free 100 Free 200 Free 400 Free 200 IM 400 IM 100 *** 100 Fly 100 Backstroke Now with a large amount of events like that I don't see how you could use this sort of training. Note: I can probably get to the pool everyday for 2-3 hours. Would you just do about 40 minutes of a hard main set training the 50 free for maybe 40 minutes? Then you take a tiny break and resume and start to work on another event? Like the 100 Free? If you're training 8 events: You'd be able to work on 2 events a day if you dedicate 2 hours everyday and up to 14 events a week but the problem is that you'd go days without swimming a certain event? Well I guess the insane amount of repetitions makes up for that. Also: Say you're wanting to improve your 100 Free time, and currently it's like a 1:05, would you do 25's on 26.5 seconds holding 16.5 seconds? Or would you get your ideal times and then then divide those by 4 and do 25's on that time?
