Synopsis

Free Speed is coach Paul Eaglestone's breakthrough training method that combines efficient swimming technique with a pace-setting formula to achieve faster triathlons. It's perfect for the triathlete or competitive swimmer.

The idea behind Paul's innovative training system is loosely based on ultra short-race pace training, but with fewer sets, and maintaining effort levels rather than working at constant maximum effort. By measuring efficiency through stroke count against time-specific goals and with Paul's swimming technique--including better muscle performance--the triathlete can preserve energy for the cycling and running legs of the triathlon without sacrificing pace in the water. His method brings a cycling mentality to swimming through hydrodynamics, attention to detail, and marginal gains through mental training.

With this book, the triathlete or swimmer will

* train and practice using the best swim technique;

* improve pace over short distances using Paul's 17/20 method;

* progress to race distance without sacrificing form or speed;

* understand every aspect of triathlon swimming, including basic equipment, race planning, opener water swimming, starts and turns, and more;

* have the tools to design their own training sessions based on their own specific goals and targets; and

* get the most out of each training session.

Swim faster triathlons with Free Speed!

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Paul Eaglestone swam competitively from childhood to his early twenties, including with a national squad. He has coached swimming and triathlon for 30 years, and he is still taking athletes to the podium today. Paul was Alex Yee's swim coach throughout Yee's teens. Athletes use Paul's methods in coached sessions as well as in their own self-directed training. The Covid-19 lockdown was Paul's opportunity to commit the method he had developed over the course of his career into the pages of a book, Free Speed. He is passionate about spreading his training ideas, which are simple but highly effective, to as many people as possible, particularly those who may not have their own coaches. Paul currently resides in the United Kingdom.
