Your Fastest 1000 Program - Week 6

Week 6 - Increasing Intensity

Week 6: Increasing Intensity

So, tell me… How was the first week of the second phase?

As we gradually increase the intensity of the workouts, it is important to remember that the objective of this program is to make you feel confident, physically and mentally ready to swim a 1000 yards/meter fast swim.

Whether you are an experienced athlete swimming thousands of yards per day, or just trying to swim your first 1000, the program adapts to you, and the effort you bring to the pool.

You will love the specificity work this week!!! (I do!!)

Here are your Week 6 working sets. Let’s remember the critical aspects of the program for weeks 5 to 8:

• Please commit to the FAST sets. This is critical. Yes, it STILL feels hard, but trust me on this one, you will start noticing how the swim gets easier and your yardage increases. At some point, you will complete your daily workout and still have time for a nice longer cool-down.

• Reminder, Wednesday is not a rest day, it is Dryland day.
