Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P sits down with Eric Kenny from EK Endurance Coaching (http://ekendurancecoaching.com/). The topic is Swimming and Minimum Effective Dose...what to consider when constructing a season. As a baseline, know that Eric advocates for swimming 2x a week, year-round. Key Talking Points: Make small gains all the time. Swimming is skill-based, so continuous application of those skill matter. Choose a coached session (masters) so you have feedback from the deck. Swim warm-ups are critical for improved overall training, as they help set up your stroke and prepare for a better workout. Since we swim in a closed atmosphere, it’s the perfect "inclement weather" alternate activity to replace a run or bike. Thanks for listening to this Endurance Nation podcast...find more online here.
