Last morning session this Tuesday before traveling to Geneva the following day. About an hour of recovery to keep a good feel for the water ahead of the Championships.
Last couple of days before the start of Swiss Long Course Championships in Geneva. We had a recovery focused day in Basel including two shorter workouts incorporating a few fast efforts.
Following a full day off on Saturday and extra rest on Sunday morning for the sprint specialist of the group, we went for a recovery swim in the afternoon to keep the good feel of the water leading into the championship meet.
Championship Week! Last session at home this Monday before competing at Long Course Nationals. Short taper workout including a quick resistance and sprint main set during the middle part of the practice.
Last Saturday session and one more racing practice before the start of the competition next week. It was really about fine tuning and gaining some self-confidence.
Short recovery based Friday taper workout keeping things really simple.
Speed focused Thursday session mixing short rest resistance type work with long rest high quality race tempo swimming including some overspeed during the first part of the practice.
This is the taper version of our mid-week “Post Gym Recovery Protocol” which after remaining mostly unchanged the last few Wednesdays is now offering three options and variations of those to provide as much “freedom” to the athlete as possible.
Sprint focused Tuesday session including resistance work to “accelerate and emphasize” the feel on the fast efforts. There were no intervals on the resisted and sprint 25’s – goal was to get the equipment off, shift focus, and get into a high quality sprint.
Recovery focused Monday workout with just 10 days to go until the championship meet. The session alternated relaxed kicking and pulling with cruise freestyle and backstroke.
