Subject: Gale Bernhardt's Book Question regarding swim workouts Hey everyone...if you don't have the book, "Triathlon Training Basic" you might or might not be able to answer my question, but I have a question regarding the Swim Workouts on page 102.
Maybe you would know even if you haven't seen the book if this sounds reasonable;
On page 102, the Swim workouts are listed for WORKOUT 1;
Warmup: 200 Swim, 200 Kick, 200 Drill
Main Set: 6-8 x 50 (10 Sec RI between swims ).
Cooldown: 200 your choice.
Now, I have been following this program for a few weeks now and was wondering if I was doing it right. I am especially confused about the warmup workout. I perceive it as doing "either/or" not "All" of the workouts. For instance, should I just do a 200 swim and then proceed to my Main Set or should I do all the warmup workouts, i.e., 200 swim then 200 kick then 200 drill??? I am confused and I hope I haven't been cheating myself????
Hopefully, someone can help..
Thanks! |
