I suggest making it habit to make it to the pool 3-4x per week for a number of weeks. If your goal is to make a swim improvement, it will take this level of commitment. If you were able to follow long with the swim series I wrote, the first step is frequency. Get there and then focus on technique. The speed component is the last thing to be concerned with. If you get to the pool and increase awareness and feel, achieving CSS will become less taxing and you will be less efficient. Unless you are a front pack swimmer, getting from swim start to swim finish is about using as little energy as possible.
I encourage you to read the entire series and take note. There is plenty there to get started! Again, reach out if you have more questions.
Each article from the swim series on my Substack features a workout to address endurance or pulling efficiency. I suggest you try those as a starting point.
Please I want to know your opinion:
Olympic Triathlon CSS1’50”/100mt
2 weekly sessions of 2500/3000mt
Great resistance (no problem 2’/100mt open water for 3/4km..) low speed
What to do?
1. Speed?
2. Forza Pull/Paddles?
3. Aerobic Development (long repetition open water)?
Thanks!
