Intensity Mix Up

Saturday Swim Session: Intensity Mix Up

In the swim leg of a triathlon (or open water swim) there is often some variation in swim intensity. The start of the race will often start at a hectic pace, as people try and jostle for a good position or to get to the first turn buoy in a good position before settling into a more sustainable pace. the pace then picks up again towards the end of the swim. This set builds on that top-end speed you have to enhance your overall performance. This session is great for open-water swimmers and triathletes of all distances.
