Monday of week two at the Tenerife Top Training for the Team Armee athletes started with another half day off providing extra sleep and rest in the morning as we were getting ready to compete at the Lausanne Swim Cup over the coming weekend.
Both athletes went to the gym for a weight session following the afternoon practice in the pool. Our sprint specialist had an anaerobic capacity type workout and the distance (medley) athlete focused on aerobic IM and fly sprint during his swim.
Our mid-distance freestyle specialist, Antonio Djakovic, joined back forces with his Coach Pablo Kutscher and his regular SCUW squad for most of the sessions while in Tenerife.
Below is the workout from Robin Yeboah focusing on the sprint events (50 & 100 fly, back, free).
