Aerobic and sprint focused Wednesday evening workout for the Elite squad in Uster.
This is the Tuesday evening workout for some of the athletes of the SCU Elite squad and my first session working with them while substituting for Head Coach Gerard Moerland during the time he was away for a training camp.
Wednesday post lunch swim including mostly aerobic freestyle and backstroke mixed with sets of 25’s butterfly. Back in the short course pool today, I got rid of the fins after the first block.
Longer and mostly relaxed aerobic post lunch swim on this Tuesday afternoon. Included a block with short sets of 50’s for some speed work before wrapping up.
Just a quick dip this Friday to relax between a busy morning and afternoon. Starting out with a mix of low-end aerobic freestyle and backstroke work before a short butterfly block.
Back in the pool almost a week after my last swim and thus I decided on mostly relaxed low-end aerobic work including lots of sculling and some butterfly towards the end.
The pool was quite crowded this Thursday morning and therefore decided to jump into the long course lanes, hold onto my fins, and alternate longer relaxed swimming with shorter sets of 50’s.
I had more time on hand for my swim this Tuesday morning and with the steady increase of fly work last week decided to double down and focus on butterfly today.
Sunday morning at the pool to get a third swim and end this week. Keeping with the theme of longer relaxed swims mixed with short butterfly sets of 25’s and today including some kicking.
A high intensity session for sprinters, IM’ers and stroke specialists. Warm-up is pretty straightforward. Strong kicking in the warm-up set, a little build of intensity to prime everyone for the main sets.
