I suppose I have a strange philosophy concerning my swimming training. I am only an average swimmer and spent years trying to use increased fitness as a basis for improving my swim times. What happened was that I did improve my times marginally but ended up fatigued after the swim leg. In short I became better at swimming inefficiently. I then decided to try the Total Immersion method of swimming. You can visit the site at www.totalimmersion.net. I now spend a lot more time using drills in my training and a lot less time worrying about how many kilometres I swim.
Anyway todays session was almost entirely a drill session of about an hours duration. Nice and easy and a great way to recover from Wednesdays race.
Hi I'm MD. A forty something triathlete who just thought you might be interested in my thoughts on training for the mature triathlete. I am no elite athlete, I am just a trier who still wants to improve as he gets older.
