coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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 :lmao: 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– 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.
