Incluir una sesión a ritmo de competición después de una activación en el gimnasio con “power clean” y contrastes en ejercicios básicos, genera muy buen resultado en nadadores especialistas en pruebas de 50m.

Un calentamiento muy corto en el agua(400-600m) y a nadar rápido.

New paper out 🏊‍♂️📊

How much is too much?
Our latest research dives into workload in competitive swimming and its impact on performance.

Worth a read if you care about smarter training, not just harder training.

Gracias, Pedrín.

During my time in the U.S. Air Force in the mid-80s when I was assigned as a prosecutor in Europe at the height of the Cold War, I was tasked to American air bases in Spain as a part of my legal duties. I have great admiration for the Spanish people and they have been great allies in the past.

However, the current government in Spain is becoming the gold standard of pathetically weak European leadership that has lost its moral way, apparently reluctant to condemn the terrorist regime in Iran and have nothing but criticism for the United States. The Spanish have righteous indignation for Putin’s invasion in Ukraine, as they should. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran it appears that Spain is, at best, indifferent. In times like these, you learn the true nature of your allies.

I’m hoping this current Spanish government is an aberration, not the norm. History will note where Spain was as @POTUS and others try to bring down the most bloodthirsty regime since WWII.

So sad.

La actitud está sobrevalorada

Solamente con una buena actitud no apruebas el examen

La actitud resulta imprescindible, pero no suficiente

De acuerdo, solo depende de ti, pero la preparación también depende exclusivamente de ti y esa sí te ayuda a aprobar

Si sientes miedo significa que estás en el lugar adecuado: a punto de superarte.

Si comprometes tu salud mental quiere decir que no estás en el lugar correcto: eso no es para ti.
Si lo fuera, el precio no sería tan alto.

Hoy hace 17 años que RAFA NADAL ganó el ORO OLÍMPICO en la prueba individual

¿Qué estabas haciendo ese día?

Especially if you're trying to maintain/gain strength, Z1 training is a true cheat code.

I can do 1-2 hours of Z1 biking, and I feel no negative effects from it when lifting.

It’s crazy.

I still can’t believe it took me 15+ years to figure this out and truly give it a try.

The #1 factor that determines if a training plan works?
Belief.

You can have the “perfect” workouts, elite-level data, and cutting-edge recovery tools...

But if the athlete doesn’t buy in, none of it sticks.

The body follows the mind.

If the mind is hesitant, distracted, or full of doubt, performance suffers.

Every fitness person online is screaming...

One camp shouts: Zone 2.
The other: Go hard or go home. HIIT!

But if you look at what the best in the world actually do?
It’s simpler. More thoughtful. Less dogmatic. More varied

A new study surveyed elite endurance coaches and the patterns were striking. Let’s break it down.

New study surveyed elite Norwegian coaches across endurance sport (running, skiing, rowing, etc.) and found remarkable similarities.

-Most training was easy (80-90%)
- 2 to 3 "key" hard workouts per week
-Periodize: From high volume to more specific
-Adjust for individual.

[John Paton @johngetstrong]

When you hit a plateau from zone 1 and zone 2 base building should you begin to increase training intensity?

@Alan_Couzens shares his thoughts on whether more intensity is an appropriate response to hitting that kind of a plateau.
