Couple ‘o’ New Swim Drills

Found this great article in an effort to increase my repertoire of drills.

 

Crossover: When your hand enters the water at the beginning of each stroke, you must ensure it doesn’t cross your body’s imaginary midline running from head to toe. Crossing over puts a tremendous amount of strain on the shoulder joint and makes [...]

Review: Swimming Going for Strength and Stamina

I found this gem in the stacks of UWO.  I’ve been on the look out for swim workouts.  Generally I don’t find it hard to make up sessions but sometimes it’s nice to have a few go to lesson plans.  This book: Swimming Going for Strength and Stamina, has 60 workouts!  Thats over a years [...]

Four Websites Worth Checking Out

Jonathan Wyatt: When it comes to mountain running, Wyatt is a name feared among other runners.  If your finish, 10 behind Wyatt (10mins behind him) you are considered an excellent runner!

Sports Fitness Advisor: If you want any information with exercise, checkout this site!  They have piles or workouts and great scientific backround on many [...]

Diagnosing the Triple T

The weeks have flown by since my last race in California 70.3.  My time has been filled with a lot of training but even more with soul searching; where to next? 

Racing has started to become a large portion of my life, especially in the absence of a true 9-5 white/blue collar job.  Getting [...]

To defend myself, I say if [...]

Getting the Itch

This weekend was suppose to be the calm before the storm.  In two weeks I’m going to try and tackle 2 tris in 12 hours.  I’ve only done 2 Olympics and sprints in my life and in less than a day, I’m going to make each of those 3!  More on that nonsense [...]

Crossing-Over

No I don’t mean to the dark side.  I mean swimming.  On Monday our swim group did a 500m time trial.  While plowing through the water I was told that my right arm crosses the center line.  In fact on further inspection, I swim crooked.  My dang right lats are just too strong!

So [...]
