This is the episode you were waiting for! The third part in our "Learn to Love Series" with Guest host Lindsay Long.  The swim portion of of tri training and racing can be tough. Unlike biking and running, where more volume, speed, or strength work can translate to faster times, swimming often doesn't work that way.  Add in how much time swim training can take and the fear of open water...and well...we won't go on.  Because this episode is about learning to love the swim!  Some topics covered:

  • Overcoming fear in swimming
  • The importance of structured training 
  • Setting goals and staying committed 
  • Being patient 
  • Realistic goals
  • Tips and tricks
  • Incorporating swim toys 
  • Letting go of judgment 

Have a listen!
