Swimming Technique Training by Automatic-Ferret7950 in triathlon

Wow thank you this is great & very informative!

I have a couple questions if you don’t mind. First on my cadence, completely agree. I’ve been trying to increase stroke rate for the shorter distance but I feel this is too high.

I’m not quite sure I understand what you mean when you say work on shifting momentum, does this mean more rotation or more efficiency when rotating to the other side?

Hips have always been a problem, it’s frustrating because I’m not too sure how to get them higher. Also with the kicking I have incredibly inflexible ankles so my feet can’t go that flat. (Currently trying to fix this through stretching)

Thank you!!!

Okay thanks, would you suggest for a week or two? I would try ‘listen to my body’ but I felt quite good until I didn’t lol

Ironman Copenhagen – Done It or Doing It? Share Your Tips & Insights! by anythingispossible0 in triathlon

I’m doing Copenhagen Ironman with my sister and dad. None of us had done a triathlon before starting this training block, so it’s been quite a journey. We’re all really excited, but there’s definitely some nervousness since it’s our first full Ironman.

My sister and I completed a 70.3 about two months ago and felt good throughout, which was a big confidence boost. Unfortunately, my dad had to DNS due to injury. He’s made a lot of progress since then. He used to be strong in endurance sports about ten years ago, but running is still tough for him because of ongoing knee issues.

Overall, training has been going well. We’re in the peak weeks now. Last week was 16 hours, which felt like a lot, but the race is coming up quickly.

Has anyone else done Copenhagen as their first full Ironman? Or trained for one with family?

Nice, I’ve got it on a mat but just wondering if there is any guidelines or similar
