GoSwim GoldMain Set Friday - Pace
0 commentsToday was about planning your set. We've done quite a bit of this, but it's a constant reminder of where you need to start your swim pace.
Freestyle - Open-Water Rabbit
There's a certain loneliness about training for open-water swimming, especially when you do your training in a pool. This drill serves multiple purposes to teach and help break the monotony that comes with 5,000-meter swims.
Swimming Set of the Week - April 13, 2012
Yesterday's main set was all about back-half swimming. Today's set continues that theme...but the entire main set requires a "back-half" strategy in order to achieve the goal of descending your times over the course of 1800 yards.
Main Set Thursday - March 12, 2012
Working pace today, and practicing the ability to stay relaxed on the front part of each swim or race.
Swimming Set of the Week - March 23, 2012
This week's set follows the theme of learning how to pace yourself from start to finish through a workout.
Main Set Wednesday - March 21, 2012
Trying to convince people to plan for what's to come is sometimes tricky. Today was no different than yesterday... almost like a theme is building. Going to have to mix things up a bit more tomorrow.
Main Set Monday - March 12, 2012
Here's a pace set to learn just how smooth, and how tough your correct pace for a 200 feels.
Butterfly - Fast Fin Fly 2
We decided to reshoot and repost this drill because when we originally posted it, there was no sound on the video. On YouTube, when people see the old version, they commonly respond that there are no flip turns in butterfly... in this drill, there are.
Main Set Wednesday - January 18, 2011
Learning what a solid pace to hold is typically a work in progress... understanding how the water feels as you travel at that pace is a learned skill.
Main Set Tuesday - January 17, 2012
Descend 200s with active rest. Another good practice if you're prepping for the One Hour Swim.
Swimming Set of the Week - December 9, 2011
Here's a 300-yard mini set that works well as part of a taper practice.
Swimming Set of the Week - August 5, 2011
This week's set asks you to swim in all the different training zones, from recovery/aerobic, all the way up to above race pace.
Swimming Pics of the Week - August 4, 2011
With the talk of tech suits coming back up, I thought I'd post a pic and short video of what people still use their tech suits for.
Swimming Set of the Week - May 27, 2011
This week's set, like Glenn's kick set from May 25, 2011, demands close attention to effort and pace...and the ability to do math in your head while swimming.
