While this one is mainly about swimming and getting faster in the water, there are a lot of things that transfer into training for bike and run. We talk about understanding how to improve in the swim, how to descend intervals by effort and engaging the full stroke. We also get into where your power zone is and how it translates to the bike and how you can create more time to breathe. Find your gears in the water.  Topics: Are you “at home” in the pool? Are you wasting ability? Swim goals Understanding HOW to get better and faster Testing as the method? Recognizing when you’re in good shape Testing is like racing When you don’t have Zone 4 or Zone 5 Swimming intervals How to descend swim intervals by effort Slow - Fast - Nothing in between Finding multiple gears in the water Engaging the full stroke  Inches matter Negative splitting intervals AND sets Creating more time to breathe  The power Zone in swimming Swim and pedal stroke similarities Full Swim stroke The key is momentum Early vertical forearm  --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
