Plan Description

- 20 week training plan targetted for Mackinaw Island Swim 2024.
- Athlete should have a swimming base that includes 2-3 swims a week, each swim 2000-2500 yards, as a starting point.
- Plan covers: pool workouts for pacing and technique, open water workouts, dry land conditioning and mobility work, and some cross-training
- For pool workouts, swimmer should have fins or zoomers (short fins), paddles, buoy & kickboard. Swim snorkel is highly recommended

- Workouts are written on a "Perceived effort" scale from 0-100%. And pacing is set based on Critical Swim Speed (with a workout early on to test and calculate that).
- Links to YouTube videos provided for swim drills.
- Plan progresses to a peak week of swims >6miles.
