With COVID lockdowns limiting time allowances in the pool, some coaches have come up with inventive ways to maximise training stimuli. Although I usually fully support a good structured Warm Up (WU), inclusion of some drill work to develop technique. Occasionally just going hell for leather and swimming hard all session within a restricted duration, leaves you to maximise you fitness with minimal time available.

Hill Reps will help develop the strength of all muscle-fibre types, set the neurological firing pathways to recruit multiple muscle fibre and increase your hearts stroke volume. This is a great session for all runners and triathletes especially those running events between 5km & half marathon.

This session develops Anaerobic Power to assist with you breaking away, whether on a hill or punching it solo on the flat. The high intensity efforts will deplete the Anaerobic energy system and force you to really suffer at the end, but this suffering is what will generate the bodies improvement and can’t be generated by missing the early efforts in the workout. This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.

I’ve been working on a new Fitness Swim Training Plan to improve your swimming over 8 weeks. The sessions for this programme are between 1,500m and 2,100m long and there are three sessions each week. I’ve got variations of the training plan for people who can complete four or five swims each week, as well as for people who can only fit two swims per week. As well as a 12, 16 and 20 week variation of the programme. This session is a key session in the programme.
