Can someone please explain in simplified terms what EN1, EN2 and EN3 actually mean?
Experienced thoughts on how often each system should be trained?
For someone who swims mid-long distance freestyle, which energy systems take dominance, if any?
(clearly I'm lost!)
Thanks
:)
You can find an explanation and link to the energy systems here penguin0.best.vwh.net/.../help.html
Which energy system to train and when is a VERY large part of what swim coaching is about. If you want to understand what is going on, get acopy of "Championship Swim Training". He lays out the systems pretty well and how to construct a training plan.
There is no one answer to how much to train each system because that number changes throughout the year. You divide the year up into phases (mesocycles) that have varying emphases. Each different emphasis means a different relative amount of each type of training.
I know I didn't answer the question, but the link will help you and the book certainly will.
