Internal intensity control for swimming.

No watches, clocks, HR, magic goggles.

But an understanding how you feel at certain paces, through your rhythm and breathing. Get good at this and then put it to use in a race. Better understanding of intensity control in swimming will lead to a better overall race.

The study in referring to is “Effect of swimming intensity on subsequent cycling and overall triathlon performance” Peeling, et al.

And basically what I take from this is the fitter and more conditioned you are in swimming, the faster you can swim at a lower energy cost(efficiency), therefore you can still bike and run to your best ability.

There is a great quote from a 12 year old .brownlee in a documentary about him and Johnny, in a story told by their swim coach at the time, when Al was challenged by British triathlon coaches who thought he was swimming too much at the time he basically said “I need to be really fit in the swim, so I can get through it as easy as possible, so I can blow them away on the bike and run”

Sums it up nicely really, from a 12 year old future 2 time Olympic gold medalist 💪

Massive well done to on completing Knokke-Heist 70.3 in Belgium at the weekend!

This was Noelle’s first 70.3, A goal that was set out last year and Noelle bought into testing and applying the numbers in training straight away, we went through the progressions to get to the 70.3, with some sprint and Olympic distance races to step up gradually for the big one!

Well done Noelle! A medal well earned and big goal completed ✅💪

The million dollar question…..what’s next? 👀😂

Zell am See 70.3 Austria 🏊‍♀️🚴🏻🏃

Well done to Cotorep Long Deaglan and Jane Hasson | Coach Jane in Zell am see last weekend, what a place for a race! In the Austrian mountains, the bike had over 1000m elevation with a 13km mountain pass climb!

Massive well done to Jane on her first 70.3 ✅ Jane came to triathlon from a strong CrossFit background but little experience in endurance training, stepping well out of her comfort zone and into the world of triathlon training there was a lot to learn and to balance with keeping up some CrossFit training in there for a period too. But with testing and knowing the numbers, and building up consistency in the training and ticking off key sessions Jane was able to smash it on race day! First taste of triathlon and I think she’s hooked! 💪💪
Well done Jane! Well deserved!

Well done to Jane’s other Half Deglan also on another 70.3 in the bank, things were going well until a tangle with another rider and bike crash on the descent injured his knee, unfortunately this meant it was a walk run to the finish and just get it done job but chapeu for finishing and coming away with the medal 💪

We prepare as best we can for races and sometimes luck falls the wrong way for us which is unfortunate, but it’s the nature of the beast and we have to see what we can learn from it and keep moving forward 💪

Athelte Results 💪💪

Lucy McDermott placed 6th overall female and 1st in her AG in Top of the Mourne National Series Race 👏👏

A brutal course but perfect training for IM wales in a couple weeks time, Lucy currently sits 3rd in the national series in her AG now so hopefully that was enough to secure the spot for the end of the season 💪

Massive well done Lucy! 👏

Lucy running strong at TOTM on a brutal run course!

Michael Holland had strong race at the GOAT triathlon, finishing 11th overall and 2nd in his AG.
Then went and did Inishowen 100 the next day, 107 mile and 2,200m elevation gain around the hills of Donegal……”recovery spin”

Joseph Coyle was also racing at the GOAT, with a super 16th overall and just missing out on an AG podium picking up 4th, well done Joe 💪

Few of the lads doing the Inishowen 100, great day out on the bike 💪

Westport Olympic distance National series race 🏊🚴🏻🏃‍♂️🥇🥈

Myself and Colin Mc Cormack headed to Westport to take on the national series Olympic distance race on Saturday and went away two happy lads 💪

Colin has been super consistent in his training and race performances all year and continues to reap the rewards, with an aim of going sub 2 hours 20 mins before the race, it’s fair to say he smashed that with a 2:11 and a top 30 finished in a seriously stacked nationals field, and to top it off Colin picked up a 3rd place in his AG 🥉💪 well deserved!

I was happy to be able to put in a strong performance also and rounding out the top 10 of a quality start list, 1st in AG 🥇and some of the best times and performance I’ve produced in 14 years in the sport, slowly slowly getting faster each year 😂

It’s true that when you keep showing up, be smart, and put the work in while enjoying it along the way the performances follow 💪

It’s a nice feeling to share success with the training partners and Atheltes you coach you spend hours in the lashing rain with through the winter 💪

Massive well done to on completing the Donegal quadrathon, 4 half marathons in 4 days on some of donegals toughest roads!

Carla came to me looking for a plan for this event that she could follow alongside maintaining her CrossFit training, not an easy task training for two demanding events but we were smart about it and build up the running progressively and consistently with focus on preparing for the demands of the events with some big race aim weekends that focused on good pacing and nutrition and fuelling to meet the demands! Fair to say Carla smashed it!

Well done Carla! 💪👏🏅

Dale Robson You are an Ironman! 💪👏🏅

Ironman Kalmar Sweden ✅
Sub 14 hours!

13:59:39 👏

What a journey it’s been for Dale, with a very busy work and family life, the key was always consistency and building a solid foundation all over the winter, Dale bought in to training with intensity control, took time to understand the training and what we were looking for from each session, played it smart and trusted the process. The build up wasn’t without injuries, illness, work commitments, travel, family life, but that is all apart of the game and Dale managed it extremely well to get himself to the start line ready to rock.

I think one of the biggest obstacles was the open water swimming, with no real swim background Dale worked hard in the pool all winter and made great progress but unfortunately the open water can be a different beast and bring its own challenges, once open water season started Dale hit a big hurdle when he was struggling to swim any sort of distance in open water, in May he attempted to take on a 3km open water swim and had to pull the plug after 200m, short of breath and panicked he couldn’t seem to settle at all in open water, he was worried and rightly so the Ironman was only 2 and half months away and he would have to swim 3.8km. But Dale was adamant he would get it, so we met one morning 6:30am at the lough and we figured out what was causing the panicked breathing and open water issues, that day Dale swam 600m comfortable, that night he went to open water again and swam 1500m! And from then on he did not miss an opportunity to improve his open water skills, in in the last few weeks he swam multiple 3.5-4km swims comfortably. With some guidance, plenty of belief in yourself and a lot of hard work, great things can happen!

It’s not just about the race day and that finish line, it’s all the battles overcome beforehand that make you an Ironman 👏 well done Dale, so well deserved, buzzing for you! 🎉💪

What’s next? 👀🤣

Also shoutout to Paddy Glenn my old school friend and Dales training partner for smashing it also 💪
