Although the Ft Lauderdale Pro Swim didn’t net the results Simone Manuel was expecting, she has seen many positive signs for her swimming this winter. Feeling completely healthy, Manuel is back to not only swimming full workouts with Bob Bowman and the Texas team, but she is logging serious yardage, getting in some of the hardest training she says she’s ever done.
This doesn’t sound like a recipe for success….
Hope she doesn’t get “overtrained fatigue syndrome” or whatever else she allegedly had whilst at Stanford.
That’s what surprised me.
She had overtrained fatigue syndrome and then she chose to train with Bowman, who’s famous for his crazy sets of training (that even broke Angel)?
It makes no sense.
*Agnel
He sure ain’t no Angel
Guess this was why she was a bit slower in season than usual last week.
Smash ‘em, Bob
uhh isn’t this what got her in trouble at Stanford
Overtraining is often not from “training too much” but doing the same thing too much. That being said there are multiple types of overtraining but Bob bowman is usually a guy that has a lot of variety in training
Oh please, Greg Meehan probably listening to Simone interview and saying, “Wtf?”
I think a big issue is she didn’t get to taper in 2020.
That’s baloney.
Unless your name is Ledecky, no American swimmer can afford not to taper at Olympics trials.
She also didn’t have great swims in Tokyo, she didn’t even make 50 free final (her semis swim was 0.34s slower than her trials time), and her relay splits were significantly slower than her usual standards. So your “no taper” theory is shot.
Are you saying she wasn’t tapered in Tokyo?
Sprinters…smh
Welcome back, Simone!
Good luck going forward.
