The Breakdown: Episode 2
Listen now
Description
Clive and Sam select some of your swim sets that you have sent in for us to “breakdown”. We talk about the science and how these sessions will make you better swimmers. Because of Covid-19 a lot of swimmers now have to swim in public lanes, so we are here to help you understand these sessions and help you with your training. Today we look at 2 main sets. A 7x200 Free step test set which is great for collecting your performance data to track your improvements. The second set is a race pace set of 3x75 as 50 Max, 10s rest, into a 25 Max. This set is great for preparing those race skills as well as working in that lactate production zone.
