  • I've got 6 throughout the year although my focus is Bahrain 70.3 in December. I'm following a TriSutto swim program now. Sort of... I have the swim sets and I'm working them into my own training schedule, not a program as such.
  • I thought it was the aircraft chemtrails the man is poisoning us with  *reaches for tin foil*
  • Swimming is one of those things where everyone has an opinion. That's why I left this conversation when it became about technique. There are so many myths and so much hand-me-down false information. You only have to watch a YouTube video of an Olymp…
  • I think that is where swimmers like me struggle as I know I don't have have a good catch from full extension. 
  • The likes of Ous Mellouli and Sun Yang have a lovely long stroke but even though it looks slow Sun Yang still has a stroke rate of 62-64/minute in a 1500m. Because I don't have anywhere near that talent or speed when I try to imitate a long stroke w…

That's more like the TRS community response I was expecting!  :D
  • Im actually working on increasing my stroke rate as it feels much more rhythmical and comfortable that way. I prob just need to get swim fit more than anything. 
  • Haha! Yeah I'm the same. Have these good intentions then go crazy on the day
  • Thanks ill give that a whirl. I can't do that at my pool as I'll anger the whistle happy lifeguard but I can do it at the lake. 400m loop followed by quick run then back in the water and repeat.  James, I can only echo what the others have said. I …
  • You might be on to something there! I swim 3-4 times a week and I'm normally at the pool 1.5 hours. I don't measure the distance as I tend to do repeats at target pace until failure or tired and technique breaks down. I probably don't consistently d…
  • I'm so gutted by this. I remember back at school my group of friends use to either BMX, blade or skateboard. We had a local group and we were always trying to jump over, on to or off something. None of us were particularly good but we loved that lif…
  • (Quote) Hey, it's good to vent! That would be a ridiculous trumped up charge and never be authorised. That seems to be a very American thing to do, intimidating people with big charges. Like when BASE jumpers get prosecuted for borrowing a little a…
  • Up until a few years ago here if you couldn't identify the driver they got away with it completely. It's only recently that authorities have the power to prosecute the "registered keeper" who is duty bound to keep track of who was driving …
  • Looks like it was investigated fully as far as the law allows. The legal request was made to the registered keeper of the vehicle to instruct them to notify who was driving, they refused to provide that information, so in those cases the keeper is p…
  • I work a rotating shift pattern so always find the concept of jet lag amusing. You'd think it was a real illness or something. My sleep pattern changes 8 hours every 4-5 days. You just get used to being tired all the time. Because I don't sleep well…
  • Ughh. I've started doing a few pool based aquathlons (500m swim > 5k road run). So hard to pace! Feels like it should just be balls out but swim too hard and can't get into running rhythm. Transitions (out the pool, shoes on, go) are over so quic…
