Building strength through increased resistance of tools such as hand paddles and/or pull buoys is essential for getting the most out of your swim stroke. However, it is important that it is not done to excess and it is done after a solid base-building phase of training to prepare you for the extra demands and training stimulus it gives you. This session is great for master’s swimmers as well as open-water swimmers and triathletes.

To be an elite-level triathlete you need an exceptional aerobic base. Miles Stewart was well-known as an elite triathlete in the 1990s and into the 2000s. He had an exceptional aerobic base, built by consistent training and a large volume combined with speed. The focus of this session was developing his aerobic base. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open-water swimmers.
This week I’ll take you through what Miles Stewart did, in a fortnight’s time I’ve modified the workout for us mere mortals to be able to complete with the normal three options I publish.
