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.
Aerobic focused Wednesday morning for the team in Biel integrating lots of drills and kicking as well as some pulling through the first three parts of the workout.
This Tuesday included a pretty relaxed morning and a rather intense evening workout for the team in Biel.
This Wednesday, I had to go to the pool a bit earlier than usual and had also less time at my disposal. Still got a good workout in and was trying to slowly integrate more “regular sets” into my routine.
This Monday started my last week with the team in Biel already and with the good progress working together over the last weeks, we combined elements from the previous training weeks with the longer uninterrupted swimming and bigger kicking focused main sets.
