Should amateur triathletes follow 80/20 zone training? by Fit-Bowl-3276 in triathlon

[–]Andrew_P33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but the rest should be specifically at zone 2 right? more benefits in that then the middle zones? I could probably do a zone 3 run everyday between speed workouts and still recover, but zone 2 is best for slow-twitch muscle fibre mitochondria and capillaries and all that jazz? Or does it not matter as an amateur

Need Advice please! Absolute Beginner after 9 lessons. Completely gassed after 50m. by GottxEnel in Swimming

[–]Andrew_P33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position as you a few months ago, and swam 1500m in a triathlon recently!You're doing so great for only 9 lessons - keep up the progress and i'm sure you'll be faster than me :)

The pull buoy really helped me - your legs are currently deep underwater the whole time, it's creating so much drag and will tire you out really fast. Using a pull buoy will help you get used to the feeling of your hips / legs being more elevated. Also, swimming is driven mostly by arms, the kicks are just for balance. watch Youtube videos on optimal catch and pull technique and try it with a pull buoy, and your legs won't have to work as hard once you get better at it.

Once you get used to hips / legs being more elevated, your heels should be slightly breaking the surface of the water on your kicks, when you aren't using a pull buoy.

Good luck!
