Will write down how it goes down at Trials in 2 weeks

Im thinking some good results should occur!

I kept on writing I this and I that… but Im the coach… and the references are to my athlete.
I just switched to USRPT… I used to do Salo type training for the past couple years… and this USRPT turned me on even more….
But I sometimes wonder about the loss of time doing 27s for the 200 when 24 and 25s can be done for the 100 (therefore eventually getting to 200s) or is the amount of reps right right right now the most important thing….

[Questionnow]

I totally get what you mean and everything.. but what I have a hard time with is understanding why I should concentrate on pacing a 1’51 200m time when I can kinda take (obviously for less reps) a 1’48-1’47 200m pace. repetition. Shouldn’t I jump to that right away and do less reps… or is it better to condition myself for a 1’51 pace and take it from there? Im just wondering what the word PACE really means… should I just call it repeating as-fast-as-possible swimming for whatever the distance? And improve each time I do it.
Hopefully my question makes sense….

True… Im just going with the notion.. Im keeping 12s for 10-12… what will happen when I can reach 25-30 at 12s…
wouldnt I have been wasting time doing 28s for the 200?

Thanks for the info!

My second question would be this…

I have a hard time getting it into my head to train for that 13.3 when I can hold 12.3, 12.4s for about 10-12 reps (for the 100)… I feel like Id be wasting my time doing sets with a 13.3 pace (for the 200)… am I an idiot of this sense of ”wasted time” needs to be done too??
