Quick morning session before leaving for the Swim Cup in Lausanne. Relaxed swimming with some breath control and just a few short sprints – the guys would call this a proper taper workout.
This was also the last workout of this first phase and we will be leaving the FOSPO in Magglingen to train at the CST in Tenero or “on the road” as we’ll have a two training camps on the schedule for the second phase of their time with the Army program.
Results from the 2018 edition of the Lausanne Swim Cup are available on Swimrankings.
The downloadable PDF also contains the session from the mid-distance athlete of the group who did a little more & intense work as he won’t be competing in Lausanne.
