When we started, no one could make their goal. So I assigned slower but still challenging goals. Once a swimmer could make the set, the goal time was immediately lowered. After 6 weeks most are swimming at or faster than their previous PB. I find there is great pride in completing a level successfully and moving to the next faster time.
Hi. My name is Ben and I am Head Coach for the YMCA Swim team on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I’ve been integrating more race pace training in my workouts over the past 2 years with good results. I’m studying USRPT to see if this will work. I have concerns over the repetitive nature of workouts, therefore it seems like Salo’s approach might be more appealing to my athletes. Comments would be welcomed. Thank you
