Session # 72

Tuesday 10th June:

 

Unfortunately the board was so wet from the rain last night that we are unable to post a snap-shot of today's session, however, this is what we did:

 

W/UP: 4, 5 or 600m steady f/s focus on a relaxed, steady exhale in the water...like you are humming.

 

FINS: 2 or 3 x 200m as 2 x (50m drill + 50m f/s). Set 1 = 6/1/6, Set 2 = 4/1/4, Set 3 = 2/1/2 + 15s rest. As the set progresses the amount of time you spend kicking on the side decreases, giving you less chance to think about swimming "proud" with your shoulders back and chest forward (basic scapular retraction). Doing this prompts you to become more efficient at doing this more readily.

 

NEXT: 4, 5 or 600 steady f/s breathing every 3 for 50m then every 5 for 50m.

 

PULL: 4, 5 or 6 x 100m on 1.45 or 2.00 or 2.15 with a pull buoy working on excellent body rotation.

 

THEN: 4, 5 or 600m f/s (again with fins) starting off with the first 50m as the "corpse kick" drill, then work on rotation through from the hips / core.

 

LASTLY: 4 x 50 at ~80% effort, aiming to hold good form on 60s.

 

CD: 200 easy.

 

Enjoy!

Session # 71

A spicy little 'number' this morning - enjoy!

 

Take 20s rest between the fast 50s and really knock these out!
