逆流泳隊 Upstream Swim Team

Edwin Wong didn’t leave Phu Quoc empty handed.

Classic looking pool for the classic set 3(6x100m). Some solid work here.

For your marathon training without testing we limit it to 2.5hrs to be on the safe side for both recovery and injury prevention.

How is your durability? As endurance athletes, we know that getting enough volume into our training programme is critical in our preparation for an event, and we know that to get enough volume without becoming overreached and overtrained, we need to manage and regulate our training intensities effectively (4, 6).

got her 100m freestyle time down 2s from 1:34 to 1:32 and 400m freestyle by 14s from 7:34 to 7:20. Pretty good improvement with consistent training through the pandemic.

2. Build layer by layer, small steps
3. Keep it simple and manageable
4. Implementation trumps innovation
5. Lower peak loads to increase consistency
