When you head to the pool for a swim workout, do you ever wonder what you should be doing? As a coach are you giving your athletes the correct structure to a swimming session?  Many athletes tend to think they only need to jump in the pool, swim a certain distance, do some fast speed work and then hurry on with the rest of their day. This is not the best way to train. This webinar teaches you how to make the most of your swim and how to best structure your workout.

Ever watch ITU, WTC, or any Olympic style triathlon and wonder what the difference is between the front swimmers and the athletes coming last out of the water? They know how to race. They understand what to do, when to surge and how to get out of the water faster. This webinar focuses on open water swimming tactics to get you to the podium in your race or to help teach your athletes what they can implement for race season.

Swimming in itself is very different then cycling and running. Water by itself is much denser then air but why do athletes make it so much harder for themselves?  This webinar will teach you the tricks to deal with the cold, how to warm-up, where to start, how to start and what equipment to use.

This webinar provides young athletes, parents and coaches up to date information about designing and implementing a resistance training program for young athletes in addition to injury prevention.  Covered in this webinar is background about resistance training for youth, the benefits of a well structured program and most importantly, program design variables that will be based on chronological and developmental age.  Sample exercises per age category will be given as will injury prevention information.

One of the keys to running faster is to increase running economy, which is how efficiently an athlete utilizes the oxygen that is being consumed at a given pace. Running form is a major contributor or limiter to an athlete’s running economy.  This webinar covers the basics of running biomechanics which includes the 10 keys to proper biomechanics and how an athlete can use them to become more efficient.

This webinar covers all of the basic information about preparing for an Ironman. After this webinar, you will fully understand how to apply the principles of periodization and progression for Ironman training. You will understand how to determine the number of workouts that are correct to do and how to split them between swimming, cycling and running. You will also have a very clear idea of the key workouts that should be conducted during each phase of the training program.

During the recent decades, there have been contradictions between the classic traditional periodization model and the demands of high performance athletes such as:

1. •Conflicting physiological response to mixed training that is directed at many different athletic abilities
   

2. •Fatigue from prolonged periods of time working on many different athletic abilities
   

3. •Insufficient training stimulation from multi-targeted training of mixed abilities
   

4. •Inability to provide multi-peak performances over a full season
   

This webinar reviews the basic principles of traditional periodization then discusses the alternative models such as linear, reverse and undulating periodization, pointing out the primary weaknesses of this approach in triathlon. From there, you will learn the principles of block periodization and the associated pro’s and con’s of its use in triathlon!
