Thanks for posting that up, great read. What a group there too. This is the real secret, get all these WR guys and gals together in one pool, make them workout day after day, and there is not way they do not dominate come race day. Hopefully these guys will pull Phelps back to where he was and then some. Seems like he had decided to go for Rio, this is not just fooling around anymore. This is commitment and doing what you have to in order to win medals. I love the part where he is always walking around with a smile on his face and acting as the distance lane cheerleader.

“Bob’s mantra is long-term development,” says Keenan Robinson, who oversees NBAC’s dryland program.

Well that goes against nearly everything ever posted on ST…

Thanks, a really interesting read. That set of 30 x 100m from 2006 is unimaginable.

Ya, descending from 1:06 down to 55.6 for 30 x 100 lcm is pretty incredible but it would even better if they had said what interval he was doing them on: were they on 1:20, 1:30, 2:00, or???

Also, I found it interesting that Bowman has never married but rather has devoted himself to coaching all these years.

Didn’t realize that Bowman had expanded his stable of athletes by so much. Great read, thanks for sharing.

I could hold those times if the set was 30x50 :slight_smile:
