🌟 FAST PACE FRIDAYS 🌟
615 ALL STARS — TRIATHLON SWIM COACHING

It can’t be all base…

Some sessions need a little bit of bite. 🔥

Push the pace. Challenge the stroke. Make the body work.

Then, when you return to your base pace, the aim is that your form and technique feel that little bit easier and become…

STRONGER FOR LONGER. 💪🏊‍♂️

And that’s what every triathlete wants from the swim — to hold good form, good rhythm and good technique for longer.

Tougher sessions aren’t always easy… but training alongside likeminded athletes somehow makes them that little bit easier. 👍

Great work this morning. 👏🌟

FAST PACE FRIDAYS.
STRONGER FOR LONGER.

WEDNESDAY 9TH 🏊‍♂️

This morning’s technical focus was ROTATION + LEAD ARM.

Working on using the body effectively through the stroke, maintaining that lead arm position and creating a smoother, more streamlined and efficient front crawl.

Then we took that technique into some proper endurance work:

4 × 300m = 1200m
⏱️ Just 10 seconds recovery

Not enough recovery to completely reset — the challenge is to keep the stroke together as fatigue builds.

Good technique when you’re fresh is one thing.
Holding good technique when you’re tired is where it counts.

Simple. Purposeful. Triathlon-specific swimming. 🌟

TRAIN THE FORM. BUILD THE ENDURANCE. TAKE IT TO RACE DAY.

🌟 TODAY’S 615 ALL STARS 🌟

🏊‍♂️ 100s — progressively reducing the recovery.

Same distance.
Same pace
Less time to recover.

As the session builds, the body gets tired and the recovery gets shorter — and that’s when the mental battle starts. 🧠🔥

Some sessions test you physically.

Others test how willing you are to keep going when your head starts asking you to stop.

That’s why we train both.

💪 The body.
🧠 The mind.
🏊‍♂️ The ability to hold your swimming together under fatigue.

race day will challenge all three.

Great swimming this morning, team. 👊🌟

I LOVE RACING.

There’s something about racing that quietens my head.

Everything else disappears and I become completely tuned into my body — heart rate, breathing, effort, pain, rhythm.

I’m constantly micro-managing the smallest details, making tiny adjustments, trying to stay right on that edge — pushing as hard as I possibly can without stepping over it.

The adrenaline is pumping. The focus becomes laser-like.

And sometimes, it almost feels effortless.

That’s the place I love — pure flow.

But racing isn’t always like that. There are moments when it hurts, when the rhythm disappears and when your head starts questioning what your body is doing.

That’s the real test.

Can you bring yourself back?

Can you settle the noise, reconnect with your body, embrace the discomfort and find that place again?

Because for me, racing isn’t about escaping the pain.

It’s about being completely present inside it.

Listening. Adjusting. Responding. Pushing.

And ultimately giving absolutely everything I have.

That’s why I love racing. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️
