Endurance Session #208

In today's Endurance Swim Session we start with an easy warm-up, but in the drills, we straight away put some speed on. The body position kick will be done in a descend, which means that your first 100, 50 or 25 is easy, number 2 is a bit faster and number 3 is fast. After a bit of easy swimming we then go into 3 x 300, 200 or 100 descend, which again means you get faster each distance. The Body Position Kick and Freestyle Descend should really get your heart rate up in the fast ones. So by the time you get to the 100's or 50's at 80%, you should feel quite tired already. The goal is to focus on your technique and hold your form for all 8 or 10 of them and hold a steady pace. These should be done at 80%, which is a strong and confident swimming pace. If you have done the 15min benchmark swim a few weeks back and have set a goal pace based on this, try to hit or get close to this goal pace.
