Plan Description

HALF DISTANCE SWIM BOOST | [8WK]


ABILITY: EXPERIENCED ATHLETE   TRAINING METRIC: PERCENTAGE OF THRESHOLD PACE/b>

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?

Experienced ATHLETE ability multisporters 3+ times a week managing between 2000-2200 per session. The longest boost swim 2650, but it's the pacing consistency and intensity that matters! Likely 1900 race time between approx 33-40min [1:44 to 2:06 per 100 | 26 to 31.5 seconds per 25]. If you swim faster, then download an AGE GROUP or PODIUM ability boost 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. Download swims to your smart device too
