What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"

ande
One topic of great interest to us all is "What do you need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?" "What do you need to do to significantly improve your swimming times over one season?" Do you have any specific, nitty gritty type suggestions. I think it's really easy to fall into ruts, to just show up and go through the motions rather than seizing the moment while we train. Any one have any thoughts on what we need to do to significantly improve? forums.usms.org/showthread.php

  • keep training your aerobic system do some long smooth sets where you're going strong but not all out, do some sets where you push and test your limits, and some where you attempt to make 100's on and find out where you fail when you fail, attempt to make 1:15 also do some sets where you attemp to hold faster times on 1:15 and 1:20 if you have a digital pace clock, try repeating 100's on 1:11 to 1:14 if you consistently train, you'll get better over time there's much more in swim faster faster you want to get to where you can comfortable make it. congrats on doing 4 on 1:15 holding 1:10 Ande Originally posted by gull80 What do I think I need to do? Be able to repeat 100s on 1:10 and 200s on 2:30. That's my goal for the year. Today we did 16 100s, the last 4 on 1:15 holding 1:10.
