The "female Phelps" is not an appropriate description for Katie Hoff. Hoff is actually a better distance swimmer relative to her peers than Phelps. Like Phelps she dropped huge amounts of time at a young age to qualify for the Olympics at her first trials. Since then she has expanded beyond the 400 IM into distance freestyle and backstroke. She was coached by Paul Yetter at North Baltimore Aquatic Club but now swims with Bob Bowman.

Thats a sick workout. I would have a tough time matching that, and I'm a guy. Damn
Dave, there is no problem with training scy or scm, in fact, most of phelps' workouts are done short course. Training short course allows for harder sets, and focuses more on turns. I am guessing one of the goals of the set was to work on skills (underwater pushoffs and turns).
Its funny because in the first part it saids that Katie has done it many times but in this video it looks like she is pretty tired. I would be if I was her but I coundn't be because I am 11 and SLOW and she is older and FAST!!!!!! I would like to try that workout for wednesday practice because it is distance and that is what we do that day. I am excited!!!! = )
Katie is training SCY at the olympic swim camp?? the rest of the team (and probably world - including Rebecca Adlington) would have been doing LCM... maybe that's why her 400 and 800 weren't up to much?? any thoughts?
Paul Yetter aka "Edward Stopwatch Hands".
I had to watch without sound so I don't know what he's using them both for, but with that clock on the wall, that's a lot of feedback.
this set is awesome! I think it is also impressive that she did that alone. Obviously she is probably used to training some hard sets alone..but props to Katie Hoff! I know she will succeed in Beijing!
I like Yetters sunnies!!
I cant wait to see HOFF VS RICE going to be so so good to see them race..I think Hoff may go quicker at Beijing then trials...I think they were holding something back at trials...she is a pretty special swimmer!!
The flip from back to breast is A way to transition but is not THE way to transition for all swimmers. Every swimmer has to find thier best method to transition. I have tried several ways and for me, the flip IS faster for the turn but I find my push off and pull outs suffer, so that's why I don't do it. Each to thier own.
it is generally accepted that swimming lc is harder in the first place. i believe swimming too much long course, especially during long course season can get someone too broken down. that is why a good balance between lc and sc in-season is a must. during taper, i believe it is better to swim more and more short course as to let body recover more quickly while maintaining the aerobic base. this may not apply as much to a distance swimmer, but i believe for sprinters and mid-d swimmers this is a must. plus all the short course swimming allows for more turn work.
I generally think that people put too much emphasis on swimming LC during LC season. My best LC seasons were when I swam for a team that didn't have consistent access to a LC pool, so we trained SC pretty much year round. It didn't seem to affect my conditioning at all, and possibly made my walls better compared to people who trained LC. Even if you do train LC, I can definitely understand swimming more and more SC as you approach a taper meet.
yea, it is interesting that she is doing yards. And i'm pretty sure that her fastest 2 150's are faster than my last 150 of my IM... absurd. just absurd.
You never know when someone is on tape if they will give you a true representation of what they do on a daily basis. After being at several of Paul's workouts I can tell all of you he is giving you the goods and not holding back.
very impressive.............garrett, you need to put some hard core pump up music music like rage against the machine or something like that to go with these workouts.
She is so impressive, and so is Yetter. IMO he is the best age group coach in the country. One of the things I noticed is that that she has really short arms, but that does not stop her from being flat amazing
