Tuesday 24th Feb - Technique breaktrough SWIM

AM
Long Run 18.6km, 1:22, 4:27, 135 HR
3*10 minute Nasal breathing with 5 min in between.
Wasnt sure of the point of this drill but it meant for me it was much harder to breathe. This and the soreness from Sunday meant my Long run was slower than usual.
For the 3 drills/efforts 4:29, 4:17 amd 4:10 ave paces which were ok.
6/10

PM
2.8km
Drill sets. Change in technique v hard to get used too, long out the front but when I can get it together I go quicker, a bit of a breakthrough in the swim

Hey Vlad,
Noticed there aren't too many comments from us followers here so just wanted to make some noise on their behalf. Looks like your training is going fantastcially well - can't wait to cheer you home at Port. You will have a massive group behind you.
Go Vlad!

NB technique improves respiratory muscle function. The more efficient these muscles are, the less blood and oxygen supply they will pinch from your working muscles, thus allowing them to work harder (or same intensity with increased power output).

Allright!
