Spring Competitive week of Apr 4 – 10

Week 10 of the Spring Competitive Program sees a return to a high training load and the introduction of new work of still higher intensity. Please try to do the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday sessions with the highest level of quality possible. You should also consider using these high intensity sessions to refine your pre-race warm up. The lower intensity sessions should be done with the prescribed intensity level in mind. Resist the urge to go harder in these sessions and pay attention to detail with regards to technique.

As always, on water technique drills continue to be an excellent idea in warm ups and cool downs and land-drills are also advised 1-2x/week to consolidate the positions you should be striving to achieve on the water. This is important as the intensity of the on-water work increases and technique is put under greater stress.

As always, if you have any races between now and the end of April, please contact me in for possible modifications to your work that will optimize performance.

Have a great week and please do not hesitate to ask questions if you have them.
