Any discussion about adding a new category to your online workouts? Great article in the March-April 2019 Swimmer edition about the success of USPRT. As the writer Jim Thornton wrote: "Perhaps it's time to look into yet another protocol. Masters-USPRT." Perhaps it's time to add it to your online workout section!!!!!
Most people would say the same thing...but USRPT is all about race pace. All you do is race pace, no pulling, no repeat 500s just race pace. I started USRPT full time in 2014 with the idea of breaking the 400 freestyle record. All I did was 50s at my 400 race pace. I broke the record twice five months later.
Training for the 5k you can do race pace 50s, 75s and 100s.
Trust me, I know what USRPT is. It is not going to get a total beginner ready to swim an open water 5k.
