How do you train to improve your swimming for Ironman and 70.3 triathlon?
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why learning to be calm and efficient can be more important than improving speed
Why runners and cyclists often struggle to translate aerobic fitness into swim speed - and what to do about it
Breathing techniques and practices to help you stay calm and relaxed in the water
Why you should learn to breathe bilaterally
The importance of breathing out, fully, into the water
Why a strong push-and-glide off the wall can be an unexpectedly important skill, even if you’re racing in open water
The kind of swim progression that you can expect to have in a six month, one year and three year time frame.
