There is a method, which is referred to as the Rushall method which Michael Andrew uses.
Was wondering if you had any critique about this. If this sort of training is a good idea and what are the problems.
Would this also be good for longer events? Like the 400 IM?
Thanks!
I doubt I am the first swimmer of a certain age to think of this:
USRPT(with apologies to Aretha Franklin's memory)
What you want, baby it's got it
What you need, you know it's got it
All its asking,is for a trial at the swim pool, at the swim pool
just a little bit, keep on trying, just a little bit, you'll be flying, just a little bit
USRPT,found out what it means to me
USRPT, take care TCB

Bruce is cracking up right now, because he thought this was so out of character for you. While we are changing the lyrics to songs, I have one for you:
This is just something I had to do for this song in honor of my husband, Bruce who dutifully hums “Aqualung” before I race. You see, he calls me “Aquadog.” As a competitive swimmer, the nickname stuck and the song gets me psyched up!
So, que up “Aqualung” on YouTube and sing these words to the tune, instead:
Standing on the starting block–
psyched up for the race with good intent.
Crouching down the whistle blows–
exploding from the blocks off I go!
Hey Aquadog
Racing hard with all my might–
my flying arms are quite a sight!
Hey Aquadog
Feeling lactate in my blood–
I hope I don’t finish this race with a thud!
Whoa, Aquadog
Oh, I’m feeling old–
my arms slowing and struggling.
Getting through
the only way I know.
Arms hurting bad,
as I try to finish this race–
I dig down deep
my heart wants to succeed.
Feeling alone–
other racers are up ahead
if I’m to finish strong
it’s going to be all up to me.
Aquadog I am–
I will fight, not give up easy.
I may be slow, but
I’ll achieve, you’ll see.
I still remember
how fast I used to be–
when I swam faster butterfly,
back and ***, and even free.
“The older I get the faster I was”
that is my motto now,
but nothing is going to stop me,
my passion is swimming.
Oh, I’m feeling old–
