Glenn Gruber began swimming as a high school freshman with no prior age group swimming experience. He also swam at Trenton State College for three years and competed on the men’s gymnastics team. In 1979 he joined U. S. Masters Swimming and 20 years later began “serious training” at the age of 50. Glenn is a USMS National Champion, FINA World Champion, and World Record holder in the 400 SCM Freestyle. His success is not limited to the 400 Freestyle as he has found success in 50 Free, 100 Free, 200 Free, 400 Free, 800 Free, and 100 Fly.
Glenn started training exclusively with USRPT, on his own, and is now an expert on race pace training. Discussion will include the basics of USRPT, why it’s good to fail, workouts, and keeping track of USRPT training data.
