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!!!!!
Do you rest (more than 1 minute) after failure in between the different-paced sets or go straight into the next one?
I usually take 10 minutes or more to rest between sets. I think one should be totally gassed at the end of a set to the point that there is no way you could do another repeat. Ten minutes rest (or more), allows me to do the same in the next set.
In terms of the number of races you are training for, I would not do what you do, but that is me. Obviously you have weighed the pros and cons of swimming five races a day and that works for you. What works for you is what you should do.
