T2 Aquatics – Training Camp Day 6

This was Day 6 of our Training Trip to Islamorada. On Day 2, our group of HS Boys did 40×50 (40) LCM — holding a strong pace. As we went through our training cycle for the week, we came back to the 50s….did a little bit more…..and adjusted the intervals so:

  1. it was a little bit less intense overall (although it was a longer set)
  2. the opportunity was there to swim faster on the (40) interval.

I had a FINS set scheduled to finish the practice, but changed it to a less draining but still effective wall kick set.

Additional Comments
50s can be an effective way to train endurance, and a nice break from the 200s, 150s, and 300s many coaches like to use. In addition, younger people tend to get a lot out of the repetitive repeats as long as the coach is asking for a variety of pace-distances over the course of a week/month cycle.

Wall Kick is a lost art! If you haven’t been doing it, try it — it’s a nice break from the routine of kicking up and down the pool, and is a great way to train to get faster for the next kick set.
