Smart-Trainer Session

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: Seated, Standing Cadence Mix

Preparing your body for the intensity that will be replicated and sustained during an event is an important part of training. This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists, and can also be beneficial for mountain bikers, especially for events that are about an hour in duration such as a 40km Time Trial or the bike leg of an Olympic Distance Triathlon.

Saturday Swim Session: Debs’ Triple 3’s

Breaking longer swims up into segments is a great way to add speed, whilst building stamina or endurance into a workout. This session was described to me by Debs Lynch a few years ago whilst she was in the New Zealand High Performance Triathlon Squad, as one of her favourites. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open water swimmers.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 10]: Planning 😃

This week my time management skills have really been tested, I had a lot of extra activities this week making it difficult to fit in all my trainings planned, I managed to complete all my trainings during the week but did have to make some adjustments to fit it in with my schedule.

Swim Session

Saturday Swim Session: Kick, Pull, Swim

Kick Pull Swim (KPS) was often used regularly by my swim coach, Duncan Laing in the mid-1990s. I continue that tradition because it generates success by challenging different aspects of your stroke. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open-water swimmers.
