Active-recovery set this week...incorporating some early season speedwork and using 125s (yards) to get ready to race 100 short-course meters.
What we're starting with is a conversational tone with Jessica, as she takes us through how she thinks about speed, how she trains, and what her favorite drills are.
Our set of the week offers many chances to practice starts, breakout speed, fast turns, and finishing speed.
As we head into the SCM season, it's time to push beyond the SCY comfort zone of 50s and 100s. Today's workout asks you to do broken 75s and 125s, with a little bit of speed to spice things up.
This week's set asks you to tire the body with 100-125 yards of swim or kick, then climb out and dive in for a really FAST 25...then repeat.
Following this week's theme of finding one practice that works for all levels....
Here's a set with variations for the entire group. Simply put, here's how to keep a very varied group of swimmers all doing the same sendoff, and stay challeneged.
Sticking with some hand awareness this week. Yesterday we used a tool, and today we use a great series from Dave Denniston.
Continuing to process all the video we shot in California, we continue to run across beautiful images of Jessica Hardy.
A very short clip of video showing what your swimmers should look like when sprinting butterfly with fins. We've posted Fast Fin Fly before, but this is reinforcement... plus just some really cool body positions in this.
Leap Year (and Olympics) come just once every four years. Why not celebrate the extra day by taking a leap?
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
