There's a reason why very few college and professional running coaches talk about zone 2 or HIIT. In those circles, I almost never hear those phrases. Not because easy running isn't important (it is!), or that we shouldn't do intense work (we should). It's that most coaches in…

Early in my career working with elite Sprint Kayakers in the London 2012 Olympic cycle, I noticed a pattern: some athletes improved rapidly, whilst others on the same training program - similar age, experience, calibre - stagnated. Same training, different results. But why? 🧵👇

1/ Sports Scientists often criticise how other sports train. We hear things like "why do swimmers train such huge volumes compared to runners racing similar durations?" It’s not just coaching tradition & culture; it's about physiological & biomechanical demands 🧵👇#SportsScience

An individualized increase in weekly training volume of either 30% or 60% was unable to increase either strength gains or hypertrophy in strength-trained males. In fact, numerically the increased training volumes produced worse effects.

【グルセ選手🇫🇷のバタフライ泳ぎだし】はじめの数回は第1キックをしていない。おそらく無理に導入すると減速の原因になるのか🤔　キックはある程度スピードが落ちてきた時の方が機能する⁉️

Most swimmers are taught the “elbow your brother, call your mother” open turn… 🚫 But it’s not the fastest way. At The Race Club, we teach the Spin Turn — a faster, tighter, and more hydrodynamic open turn that follows the law of inertia. ⚡ 🔄 Instead of falling back from the…

@ramez So two things: 1. The time frames are comparable when you include the time to warm-up and cool down. 2. Yes, we know that the effects of high intensity training plateau earlier than endurance training. Especially if there is no foundation. Again, read the piece. All of this has…

Think going wide on your breaststroke pull causes drag? Think again. 🚫Most swimmers (and coaches) are afraid to go wide because they think it slows you down. But the truth is — it’s not your arms causing the drag. It's your body position. ✅ All elite breaststrokers go wide —…

Still using “elbow your brother, call your mother” for turns? We teach the Spin Turn — faster, tighter, and built on physics. ✅ Tuck the head ✅ Dip the ear ✅ Snap the knees ✅ Launch sideways Speed on the wall = speed in the race. #theraceclub #spinturn #swimmingtechnique…

Completely agree with @sweatscience here. Funny enough, another paper out last week reported basically the same thing in elite rowers - subjective feelings are as good or better than objective markers (testosterone, cortisol, creatine kinase, etc.) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40469869/

Para aprender el nado subacuático primero hay que enseñar a colocarse y deslizar. Porque llegar a media piscina solo depende de la posicion.

When I was in high school, I ran over 13 miles a day. Every day. For a year. I was a teenager logging 90+ mile weeks. No one made me do it. My parents would’ve begged me to back off. It came from me. Here’s what people get wrong about talent development, kids, parenting and…

All that glitters in youth sport 🏅 is not gold. When maturation and relative age were considered relative to normative age-group ranking, "94% of swimmers significantly changed performance ranks" - 94%! Really interesting work in @JSportsSci tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Two swimmers. Same kick. Very different results. Nicola drops 41% of his speed after his breaststroke kick. Mike? Just 21%. Why? It’s all in the finish.✅ Mike lifts his legs and points his toes ✅ Nicola lets his legs hang low, creating drag The result? A flatter velocity curve…
