[H2Open Newsletter] - Seven Steps to Achieving Your Open Water Swimming Goals
Published: Wed, 11/25/15
How do you approach your distance training? If you are training for a 10km marathon swim in 2016, are you planning on simply increasing your long swims? This year I swam the Dart 10k (admittedly
current assisted) in September. Previous to that the furthest I had swum this summer was 5km in Windermere in June. But two or three hard hour-long sessions a week meant that I was fit and (relatively) fast for the 10km. This week in our training feature we look at the
importance of training fast when racing long.
The Christmas issue of H2Open Magazine will be in the shops and with subscribers at the end of this week. Things to look forward to include interviews with Team GB's Jack Burnell and endurance swimmer Beth French who is taking on the Oceans Seven despite being diagnosed with ME. We have tips on how to achieve your 2016 New Year's
swimming resolutions and advice on how to swim in rough water and train for an ice mile. Plus, a Gear special on all the best kit for open water swimmers. Check out our magazine subscription offers here.
Meanwhile,
