Session of the week – Five Eights
Great session for triathletes as it allows you to get the necessary swim volume in, whilst mixing it up and focussing on different aspects of your stroke through the use of tools.
The session is designed off 800m intervals but 600m and 400m intervals can also be used.
800m fins breathe 3-5 easy and relaxed
2 x 400m swim breathe 4 at comfy pace
4 x 200m pull breathe 5 working on shape of catch
8 x 100m paddles strong breathe 4
16 x 50m with snorkel or breathing every 5 strokes
Take 10sec rest between each ‘800m’ block
Happy swimming!
