Michael Phelps’ Workout

As I was browsing through a couple of the swimming forums, I came by a post that had some ideas of Michael Phelps and his workouts.  I am curious to know if they are the actual workouts or a generic idea of his workout(s).  Either way, I hope all of the Hamden North Haven Swim Team (the YMCA TYphoons) take a gander!  This is an alleged workout that Michael Phelps did in 2001.  I can only imagine what his workouts are currently!
