Chase Kalisz is a 2x Olympian and the reigning Olympic champion in the 400 IM. He’s gearing up for his 4th Olympic Trials, which are just one month away, with a training camp in Colorado Springs. His coach there, Bob Bowman, has thrown some pretty gnarly sets at him throughout the last couple weeks, which Kalisz explains.
The former Georgia Bulldog also speaks about recovery away from practice, his mentality heading into his 4th Olympic Trials, and the importance of his sponsors heading into Indianapolis.
Last year he said that he did more yardage than he’d ever done in his entire life, but his 400 IM 2.5 seconds slower at 2023 worlds than 2022 worlds. Watch out for overtraining.
Yeah he should be fast in the next few months. Does bowman have any past examples of swimmers over trained?
Clearly your swimming IQ is very low
