Apr 28, 2021 – Swim Regio Solothurn

Wednesday evening with our second threshold focused session this week moving up to repeats of 100’s following our Monday workout. We are still not doing anything “crazy” and slowly increasing the overall intensity and “percentage” of threshold work per session.

We were finally allowed to do dryland on deck ahead of our swim practices again and started to implement short warm-ups this week as some of our athletes were also preparing for the PISTE on Sunday.
