As you know, the triathlon world is gradually taking aspects of swimming and dissecting it in its own way, adapting it to its sport, where swimming plays a fundamental role in a triathlon competition. Alex Imbernón gives us the basic rules to succeed in the swimming segment.

As you can see in the photo, there are times when it is better to rely on someone, even if you have few hopes in him than in another person who does not give you value to your day to day. That is why we have to know that we are "dummies" swimmers and that we need to learn and rely on those who really will lead us to be better every day.

1. ceases to be a big head

There are more and more people who know less about swimming and training as a professional. If your goal is an Ironman or a Half-Ronman, I don't know what you do only training When you just have swimming 2 years. And half a year you have used it swimming because you were injured and prevented you from running ... Gentlemen, we will be realistic, the photo of the photo nothing faster than us if it is proposed ☺. That's why We must sign up for a training groupS Where the coach is whoever, teaches you to train properly as you deserve.

2. Being geese only uses you to spend mobile battery

Stop observing on the mobile how others swim and Lanzate to swim. Long distance requires a lot of effort and sacrifice. Try to swim a volume of meters that your time, family or work allows you. Of course, try that a figure that bend the meters that you plan to compete will come out weekly. That is to say, If you are going to compete an Ironman, do not train less than 10,000 m a week.

3. Establish a plan based on your goals

Once you have confidence in your coach, let him do your job to Establish a training plan based on the objective you have asked to achieve. The long distance requires a lot of time in the training of the 3 sections. Find a plan that adapts to your way of living and your way of training. Do not get the beating running on Friday morning, Friday afternoon with series, Saturday tomorrow 4 h and Saturday afternoon you have your wife pissed off because you feel like staying at home lying on the couch. Plan your training with your daily life! Tri-consecut!

4. Let yourself teach

Luckily or unfortunately there are many swimming coaches distributed throughout Spain and your area. Many know where the thrust phase begins and ends and others not. Choose you who better think convenient, yes, make sure you will teach you the right technique so you know how to swim effectively. Look for your technical improvement points and work based on them.

5. Work the technique with fatigue

Train Based on real fatigue that you will find in the test. As you know, there are several aerobic phases in which your body is when you exercise physical. Normally when we compete, our body begins in an anaerobic phase, later moving to an aerobic linear phase. Try to train At least once a week Fatigue technique training. That is, it introduces middle or high rhythms to technical exercises or combines normal swim and technique.
