Swimming with Polar Bears Podcast

We had a great NOVA practice on Thursday!  Check out the video for the 13th of July for the NOVA practice. For Friday’s practice we are going to try to ride a bit of the energy from the previous practice to send us into the weekend with some momentum. The focus will be on quality sprints…interspersed throughout practice, along with some aerobic maintenance work.  This is how we are going to spend...

At the posting of this video, TeamUnify is undergoing scheduled maintenance, so I can’t write my workout, or do my entries.  Thank goodness the entry submission deadline has been extended…thank you meet management!  Is this a sign?  I am inspired to do a NOVA practice.  This is a bit of an ADVENTURE THURSDAY, but wit...

Watch our practice videos at www.nlscak.coach .  It is time to taper...sort of.  Before we get into a full taper, we need to check our yardage volume and do some aerobic maintenance.  Today's practice provides just that.  #nlscak #nlscakpracticevideo #usaswimming Visit www.nlscak.coach for additional practice videos. #swimming #swimcoach #nlscak #nlscakpracticevideo #usaswimming #worldaquatic...

20 x 50 BPA Kick is front and center in today's VO2Max practice.  Combined with our Monday afternoon practice and lifting, we should be really feeling our legs.  The main set is preceded by a fartlek style set, in which we bounce back and forth between energy systems.  #usaswimming  @usaswimming  #alaskaswimming #nlscak #nlscakpracticevideo #vo2max #lacticacid #nlscakwoot @ak_swimming_athlete...

We are solidly in the upper aerobic phase of our summer training.  This means some intense VO2 Max (EN3) sets with a smattering of SP1 (lactic acid producing) sets.  Today's morning practice has a 500 Free pace focus, while our afternoon practice has a collection of BPA (Best Possible Avg) kick and swim sets.  #nlscak #nlscakpracticevideo #usaswimming #vo2max #lacticacid  USA Swimming @ak_swi...
