    The Benefit of Swim Clinics

    The Benefit of Swim Clinics
    Posted on
    I’ve competed in well over 100 triathlons and talked to thousands of people at races. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my swim, and often the conversation turns to the laminenting of how hard the swim is, how the goal is just to get through it, and how they have the worst stroke.

    There is more to triathlon than Ironman but when you decide to take the plunge into long course triathlon there are many factors out of your control in both training and racing. How you deal with them is what separates finishers from dreamers. Michael has many great words on his experience dealing with the ups and downs of training and racing his first Ironman.

    Reaching back in the archives, in 2004, four weeks before Kona I had a bike crash, broke left Femur, three screws and lots of mental anguish later, Doctor said: Your running days are over.  I said: You can’t be serious. Then I remembered, I had signed up for Lake Placid 2005 (yeah, yeah, it was a long time ago) but it seems like yesterday. Rays of hope, I started slowly getting back in shape and did my first race early March.

    Deep in the middle of winter training, with races still months away, I'm still excited about many things in triathlon and endurance sports.

    I always did my cycling outdoors until October 2017 when I was hit by an SUV. At that point I bought a Wahoo Kickr to move indoors to ride on Zwift. In a three-story 2,400 square foot townhouse I used to share I couldn’t set my bike up anywhere without the other person I lived with complaining.

    Getting to the front of the pack: Masters Swimming Works
    Posted on

    After competing in Triathlon for almost six years I have come to realize that there are two distinct types of Triathletes, those who grew up as swimmers and those who did not. It is usually very easy to differentiate between the two groups. One group has a sense of confidence on the start line and in the case of a mass start they can usually be found at the front of the pack, the other lines up towards the back and might be overheard saying something along the lines of, “If I can just make it through the swim I’ll be fine”. As someone who falls into the second group I am here to tell you that this doesn’t have to be the case, you can learn be confident and even love the water.

    A little more went into Gulf Coast 70.3 than any race I had done before. Prior to October 2019, I was self-coached in the swim and bike, and had a run specific coach (@TrailATL). Big plans were set for the 2020 season, but we all know what happened to those. With the unknown component of when racing would resume, my coach (@JPElitetri) kept uploading workouts and I kept on truckin’ through them. The weeks leading up to the race is when things got really tough.

    Due to Covid-19, so many races have been cancelled or postponed since early spring. I was signed up to compete Ironman Muncie 70.3 on 7/11/20 which seemed like it would happen. We received an email with new protocols to keep athletes and volunteers safe. They video showed us the changes they made including a sign up for bike drop-off so that they can control the number of athletes coming to the transition area the day before the race.

    As an athlete, there is a high probability you may need Chiropractic services.  With so many “DC’s” surrounding us, how can you make an educated decision in order to get the best treatment for your particular condition?

    Cycling indoors offers many advantages such as flexibility of schedule, safety, and a bit of selfishness that you can do your workout on your terms. Drawbacks do exist. The primary drawback is the lack of terrain. When you’re riding outdoors and in races, you will encounter hills in most areas where you ride. This workout is intended to provide you an opportunity to work on your strength for crushing those hills when you get outside. For those of you living in flat areas of the world, you may want to use this workout several times throughout your training sequence so you can be competitive with those who have the benefit of a variety of terrains.

    Fartlek, yes, we said it. It’s a funny word in the English language and it’s supposed to be fun. This Swedish term means “speed play” and is a form of interval or speed training. Fartlek is an effective way of improving your running speed and endurance involves changing your pace throughout the workout alternating between fast segments and slow jogs. By adding this to your workout once a week, you can start to focus on improving that burst of energy necessary for getting closer to the podium.

    Running outside is a great way to reconnect with the world and that fresh air is so … well, refreshing! If you do not have access to a track or don’t have a GPS watch to guide you through the workout, completing track and interval workouts intimidate some. That doesn’t mean you can’t work on your speed anyways. Good old-fashioned timed intervals are just as effective as a distance workout. Of course, having the feedback of time and distance provides a little more gratification for some.
