    Hi thanks for the advice!! I have another question, if i can hit all my 25s at my pace, i train with a cap and a normal suit, would it be better to decrease the interval for each repitition (ex. From 24x25s on :35 to 24x25s on :30), decrease my pace time (ex. From 14 sec per 25 to 13 sec per 25), or keep the same interval and pace time but add drag to make it more diffucult to make my pace (ex. Adding a dragsuit).which one of these three option would be best to do now that i can make all of the 25s at my pace without failure?

    Thank you both for helping out with this, i cant wait to start training like this, i definetly love this type of training because i can put my maximum effort into every single reapeat instead of the first two then being to tired to give 100% for the rest of the set like in traditional training

    I would like to gain an advantage in my sprint, preferably longer ones such as 100s and maybe 200s, no 50s or anything longer than 200m, by using the paddles to give myself resistance to build my fast twitch fibers and anaerobic system because i have been reading around and ive found alot of sources online saying that 60-70% of a 100m race, doesnt matter what stroke, is using the anaerobic system, and the other 30-40% is aerobic so i thought maybe if increased my resistance through the water odd days of the week, i could stimulate my anaerobic system and on even days of the week i do normal usrpt i will stimulate my aerobic system and my muscle fibers to get a feel for race pace

    Hi, ive came across the same problem but not with just my highschool but my club team aswell, my highschool is straight traditional, but my club team is better but still about 80% traditional and 20% race pace stuff(ex we do 200pace 50’s maybe 6 times a month, the rest is traditional) its abit upsetting because whenever we do 200pace 50’s i feel so fast in the water but the next day, we switch to traditional and i can barely catch any water. Just wanted to point out that i feel your problem, i have a big championship meet this weekend and then an offseason right after for 3 weeks, i have told myself that if i dont se a significant improvement in my times(im shaved and tapered) that i will do 100% usrpt on my own for those 3 weeks of off season, even if i do see an improvement i will still do it, i believe in the training! Just some helpful tips, if you are training on your own, try to find a pool with a digital clock or try to buy a small portable one, it makes it alot easier to see if you have failed in a set or not. If you can get someone to time you that would be alot better, if not then the digital clock will be a big help!
