HALF DISTANCE SWIM BOOST | [8WK]
ABILITY: AGE GROUP TRAINING METRIC: PERCENTAGE OF THRESHOLD PACE
YOU
Are at a speed plateau or are frustrated with progress. Want results from a clear, jargon free, many-time-proven programme that delivers over your distance. Pool time is limited. Want to replicate training times into race times. After a higher top end speed AND faster average swim times over 1900
WHO’S IT FOR?
Athletes swimming 3-4 times a week managing between 2500-3000 per session. Longest boost swim is 3050, but it's the pacing consistency and intensity that matters! Likely 1900 race time between approx 27.50-33min [1:28 to 1:44 per 100 | 22 to 26 seconds per 25] . Download PODIUM if you're faster or ATHLETE if you're slower here
CONTENT
Fresh engaging workouts designed to deliver. Some as used or authored by Olympic & World champions scaled for your ability. Three swim sessions a week so they fit around other training disciplines
Weeks start with sharp speed sessions, mid-week is about pacing and longer intervals, and the weekend focusses on putting it all together into speed/endurance combinations. Swim sets evolve automatically and progressively over 8 weeks to challenge your newfound speed and endurance. A week one swim test sets your threshold pace from which subsequent swim session's intensities are set. Precise and personalised, no guesswork, swimming at a pace that's fast and right for you.
