Ultra Short Race Pace Training with Wayne GoldsmithWayne Goldsmith is a thought leader in the swimming coaching community. We talk about Ultra Short Race Pace Training (developed by Brent Rushall) which is starting to become a more widely used training method. I came across an article about a young swimmer in the US called Michael Andrew who is breaking age group records and swimming very quick times for a 14-year-old. His training is solely ultra short race pace training. Listen in as we discuss the pros and cons of the method and where we see it taking the sport.

Brenton and Mitch were great to work with at the clinic, Good to get video analysis to work on straight away, practice some new drills and go home knowing what you need to work on.
