Paul Eaglestone: Free Speed, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Free Speed is coach Paul Eaglestone's breakthrough training method that combines efficient swimming technique with a pace-setting formula to achieve faster triathlons. The idea behind Paul's innovative training system is loosely based on ultra short-race pace training, but with fewer sets, and maintaining effort levels rather than working at constant maximum effort. By measuring efficiency through stroke count against time-specific goals and with Paul's swimming technique-including better muscle performance-the triathlete is able to preserve energy for the cycling and running legs of the triathlon without sacrificing pace in the water. In the book, Paul explains how to train and practice using the best swim technique and how to improve pace over short distances using his 17 / 20 method before progressing to race distance, as well as every other aspect of triathlon swimming-basic equipment, race planning, open water swimming, starts and turns, and more. His method brings a cycling mentality to swimming through hydrodynamics, attention to detail, and marginal gains through mental training. The readers are also given the tools to design their own training sessions based on their own specific goals and targets, and always with an eye on getting the most out of each session.
