On the back of the inaugural Eddie Reese Texas Showdown, SwimSwam went to film practice with Bob Bowman‘s training group at the University of Texas. Of the 15-20 athletes present for this workout, about half were US national team members. This included Simone Manuel, Carson Foster, Shaine Casas, Luke Hobson, Chris Guiliano, Coby Carrozza, Rex Maurer, and Lindsay Looney.
On Monday afternoons, the Longhorns do aerobic work, targeting certain heart rates for each part of the practice. Foster, Maurer, and Hobson were leading the way for the majority of main set, which you can see below:
Main Set:
- 4×150 @ 1:45 (22-24 HR)
- 3×200 @ 2:15 (25-27)
- 2×300 @ 3:15 (28-30)
- :30 Rest
- 6×100 @ 1:10 (22-24 HR)
- 4×100 @ 1:05 (25-27)
- 2×100 @ 1:00 (MOVE IT!)
Ohhhhh Coleman….you need to come back to CAL and experience some real pancakes like you did last year at Millie’s American Kitchen!! Bring Mel with you and we can have a reunion with Dave Marsh who was in her last week for some authentic California Huevos Rancheros!!!
Call me crazy, but at 8:10ish, I see a bag on the ground with what appears to be “Newkirk” on it. That’s nuts if it’s Jeff Newkirk
It is his bag… but it does not mean he’s swimming haha I think it’s a legacy bag
I figured, he’s been out for a while. What do you mean by legacy bag? Just like a bag that was left over from his time & someone’s using it?
Coleman, I’ll eat those burned pancakes!
They were pretty good! With the maple syrup & hot sauce, of course😉
Hot sauce on pancakes is deranged behavior
It’s crazy having 3 of the fastest Americans ever in the 500 just racing each other in 3 separate lanes in practice and just from this I can understand what Carson means with Rex and racing him in practice every day
Move It! Tribute to JCU
What does HR and the numbers in parens refer to in the set description?
HR means heart rate, the numbers mean the number of beats in 10 seconds I think
^^^ correct
Death taxes and Bobthebuilderrocks being the first commentator spitting hypotheticals on any article that mentions Texas in it
I can’t help it, I have no impulse control
Can someone translate the HR numbers to HR per minute? Are those numbers measuring beats per ten seconds?
