GoSwim GoldMain Set Thursday - Legs!
3 commentsOverloading the legs was the goal today, and from the looks of the team walking to the locker rooms... mission accomplished.
Main Set Tuesday - Pit Stops
One of my all-time favorite sets... probably because of my love of auto racing. The ability to prepare for a quick change is important in this set.
Main Set Wednesday - Open Water Pool Practice
With the weather getting warmer (HOT & HUMID), we have to remember to throw in some good open water skills into the regular training.
Main Set Tuesday - FAST!
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.
Main Set Monday - June 11 - Drafting!
Sometimes even planning a practice means nothing when 35 people show up and you have access to 4 lanes. Just have to improvise.
Main Set Wednesday - Hang on to Stroke
This set can either be very difficult, or rather easy. The goal is to incorporate strokes other than freestyle for as long as you can, while trying to stay on interval.
Main Set Tuesday - Underwater Free
Starting practice focusing on Underwater Freestyle, and then trying to carry that feeling in to longer, and increasingly faster intervals.
All Strokes - Practice Stations
The goal of practice isn't just to make swimmers work. It's also to engage them IN the work. Switching up what you do from the standard back and forth can be motivating and turn into a great workout.
Turns - Practice Pushoffs
Swim practice is always a great place to actually... practice... techniques that you'll be using in races.
Main Set Friday - Pace
Today 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.
Main Set Wednesday - April 4, 2012
An IM set done by someone who doesn't particularly enjoy long IM sets.
All Strokes - Warm Up!
So it's not a drill, or even a focal point... but without this common occurance in swimming, you're just not ready to swim.
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 Tuesday - March 20, 2012
This is another "planning" set. You have to start with a pace you're going to finish with, and plan that you'll be able to hold that pace through the entire set.
