Tuesday workouts from the Lancy Natation Elite group. Both sessions included quality low-end aerobic work mixed with short speed and pace sets.
Our age groupers have gone through quite a big aerobic base work phase the past weeks – it’s now time to start to give them speed.
This Saturday morning workout continued the theme of the Thursday evening practice while also adding some short “lactate” swims to the mix.
This Thursday evening workout focused on holding pace or close to race speeds, teaching your body to handle stress. With the work we had already done this week, the workout ended up being harder on the athletes than I thought.
These are two workouts from the Lancy Natation butterfly group. Their time in the morning was limited and aimed to set up the stroke for the afternoon session.
Saturday morning race style workout from the Elite group in Vevey. This was a mix of longer pace and short lactate swims. The goal was to work on closing speed with the pace sets “breaking” their stroke before the all out swims.
There are a few key items to consider with this practice: first, at T2 Aquatics most athletes stay fairly light with the weight they pull on the buckets.
This practice was swum by a few of our 100/200M Olympic Trial athletes at a Mid-May training session.
Aerobic Tuesday evening workout from my Elite group in Vevey. Most of what we during this session was done kicking with a stroke emphasis for the swimming parts.
Tuesday evening workout from my group in Vevey. Basic aerobic kick main set built around two short fly sets. With the long warm-up and the moderate interval on the kick set, this was considered a recovery workout.
