On the cover
The problem of comparing a low intensity/high-yardage training session to a shorter, more intense workout has been somewhat tricky for coaches trying to assess their athletes’ workloads. On page 24 of this issue, Dave Costill and Douglas King present a method for determining training intensities, utilizing workout velocity as a percentage of maximal sprint velocity. By using their formula, a training session of 5,500 yards swum at high speeds could have a higher intensity rating than an 8,000-yard workout swum at a lower velocity.
The cover presents a hypothetical week of one-a-day training which covers both high-yardage/low-intensity and shorter, high-intensity sessions.
