A good aerobic – pushing anaerobic – session for your freestyle group. Send-offs are looking at between :10 and :20 rest on average.
Two days of swimming in a row this week with this Thursday session. Decided to mix some “longer” swims using fins with shorter freestyle sets without the fins.
The team in Biel was finishing this week with a speed focused Saturday morning session. This was my official “last” workout with the squad as I was handing over the reigns to their new Head Coach the following Monday.
This is a tough set for your IM’ers. Not only does it focus on form and technique, but it is an endurance building set as well.
Back to the pool this Wednesday after a few busy days that kept me out of the water. Decided to work off short blocks of 100’s mixing low-end aerobic freestyle & backstroke and sets of 25’s alternating sculling & underwater kicking.
Aerobic and mostly relaxed Friday for the team in Biel with active recovery in mind as well as high quality “work & effort” for the skills parts in the evening.
Thursday with two rather big workouts for the team in Biel. During the morning session, we alternated some more “technical” blocks integrating short axis stroke work with short kick-pull-sprint blocks.
Tuesday evening session for the Beluga kids in Biel including two distinctive parts starting with a technique and “feel” block to set up for the short axis block and breaking things up with some longer kicking.
As I start to feel better and with enough lane space during regular lap swimming hours, I’m trying to implement a bit more of butterfly into my short workouts. This Friday, I also included a couple short sprints and some faster 25’s.
