Two simple questions to ask yourself to improve your swim skills
  Progress in sport comes step-by-step. It takes a long time, and the only way to get there is one stroke at a time, one revolution at a time, and one stride at a time. There’s a lot of repetition, and that’s certainly true of swimming.   The problem is that it’s easy to go on autopilot, and when you do, you’re...
Cycling: how to ride downhill fast and safely
  The only way to improve your downhill confidence and skills is to practise so, rather than treating descents just as a chance for recovery, focus on riding them as fast and safely as you can. Here's how…   How should you position yourself going downhill?   When riding downhill, a balanced position on the bike is vital. Essentially this simply means you...
Why fatigue is great for learning swim skills
  We’re usually taught that skills are best learned when we’re completely fresh, with little to no fatigue. While there is certainly value in taking that approach, it doesn’t mean that you should only work on skills when you’re feeling good.   In fact, working on your skills specifically when you’re tired can actually improve your skills, rather them make them worse....
Two more ways to challenge your swim drills
  A good drill can make a big difference in helping you improve your skills.But to continue to keep learning, you have to continue to perform novel activities.   You’re not going to keeping learning by repeating a drill you’re already familiar with, so you need to create a new challenge.   However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to change the drills...
Beginner's guide to off-road biking
  Off-road riding isn’t for everyone. You’re going to get muddy (in the UK, at least), you’re going to crash regularly when starting out (at least the landing is generally softer than on the road!) and you’re going to need some new kit to get the most from your rides. The benefits are myriad, though.   You can explore the countryside in...
What is a good swim cadence and how can I increase mine?
  Swim cadence (and run cadence) are very much the same as bike cadence in that you’re measuring the number of times your arms complete strokes.   The difference with swimming from cycling is that you count every individual stroke as opposed to full revolution.   Cadence is one of two variables in the swim speed equation, along with stroke length. Swim speed...
Three easy ways to accelerate your swim progress
  If you’re an athlete, you’re probably not satisfied with your progress. It can never be too fast, and that’s certainly true of triathletes. If you’re in a bit of a rut, and you’re looking for ways to start improving again, check out these three simple strategies to kick-start your progress.   Switch up your speed   Too many triathletes perform all of...
When to use two swim drills in the same set
  All drills have advantages, and all drills have disadvantages. Rather than accepting this reality, we can overcome it by using multiple drills at the same time to retain the advantages, while eliminating the disadvantages.   In this article, I’ll show you three ways to make it happen.   Sensory and movement drills   Sensory drills can be really useful for helping you feel...
How to use a swim leg band correctly
  For those looking to improve their swimming, in particular the skill and fitness of their pull, a swim leg band, which goes around the ankles, can be an attractive strategy.   It makes perfect sense, too – take away the legs and stress the arms.While simple in concept, it’s actually an advanced training strategy, and swimming well with a band is...

The drill combination that will improve your catch
  Improving the catch in freestyle can be difficult to do.And unfortunately, it’s an important skill to master because without an effective catch, it’s very difficult to create an effective pull.   Because it’s important, and because it’s difficult, we want to use the most effective strategies to create positive change, and sometimes, that means using multiple strategies in combination.   I’m going...
How to use your legs properly while you swim
  Developing a solid kick during freestyle swimming is difficult to do.The mistake many triathletes make is that they’ll perform a kick set to develop the skill and fitness of their legs, and then they’ll perform a swim set.Or they’ll perform the kick set at the end of a workout after they’re swimming.   The problem with this approach is that they’ll...
