@inaki_delaparra But what about the 50?
Taking McEvoy as example, is he an outlier or a black swan and is this a new trend?

Plus general Aerobic work, should that always be done in the pool?
Or is for example biking an option too?

@inaki_delaparra
When listening to your MAD science podcast with Arild. I noticed a small sidenote you made, swimming being an endurance sport. Could you explain me how you see swimming as an endurance sport?
I see it like running, it has Sprints (20-60s), MD (1-4m) & Distance.

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@inaki_delaparra Thank you for answering.
So if I consider the Glycolytic system to be dominant in all efforts to 1min and mainly focus on training this for these events, and the repeated efforts and the technical/recovery sessions to build the Aerobic system, you actually disagree?

@popovicicrazia @JLecoutere Who knows, we will have to wait and see.

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@AddictedOnSport @thijszonneveld Nee dat niet, maar waarschijnlijk zijn ze op de 50 nog kleiner.
Het is vergelijkbaar met de 200m sprint bij atletiek, daar zijn de verschillen kleiner dan bij de 400m sprint.

@SirenSeiler Collecting as much volume as possible at the right intensity for the race you are about to do.
While at the same time trying to increase speed/output at that intensity. And control yourself to see if you are working at the right effort for that intensity.

@SwimNerds @pntrack @insidewithBH I listened to it and took notes....
Really good, thank you

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@fbcoachsimpson Aerobic base training in swimming is overrated

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@JLecoutere You are forgetting they also hired a former (and Norwegian?) swimming coach, to replace a leaving trainer.

@StephenSeiler I know I am repeating others. But if the video, paper or the sheets will be available (for sale). I would hate to miss out on this.
Ps, I am a speedbased (Top end and ASR) swimcoach in Stockholm

@TheSwimsuitGuy 3 sessions, 60 to 90min per session could be enough.
The kid is young, just his normal physical development could give you the timeboost you need.

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@Alan_Couzens Thank you for sharing this...
But how much is enough or what is a healthy volume for Sprinters in swimming (50&100m events) as they are Anaerobic dominant, way above VO2MAX.

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@thijszonneveld vraagje, zou het mogelijk zijn voor TJV om alle 3 de Grand Tours in 2023 te winnen?
En is dat een unieke prestatie voor het wielrennen (heeft een ander team dit ooit gedaan)?

[Rik Op het Veld @Coach_Rikohv]

@SirHerb_the3rd 💯‼️
