Want to get the best out of your training?

We have some tips for you on how to best execute your weekly workouts & set yourself up for success: ⬇️

• Preview your training schedule for the week early, look at workouts details, then send any questions to your coach & we are happy to help! 🤓

• Don’t forget to eat before a workout. Any and every workout. Keep it simple, focus on easy-to-digest carbs, figure out what works for you. You need to fuel the machine! ⛽️

• For swimming: Write down your workout on paper, phone, or plug it into your watch. We recommend a simple paper note as it keeps distraction to a minimum and you focused on the set. But - do what works best for you! 📝

🏊🏼‍♀️ Keep a swim bag packed with all of the essentials so you don’t get to the pool and have no swimsuit or goggles! Ask if our swim lingo is confusing - we are happy to explain! 

• For running: We recommend a dynamic warm up whenever possible. Also, don’t overdo the run workout or you will likely pay for it! As always, we are looking for consistency, not one single over-the-top training run. 🏃🏼‍♀️

💨 High cadence is key for both easy & harder runs. We are always working on this but if you need extra drills & tips - let us know. And: don’t forget the cool down. 🏃🏾

• After your workout: don’t skip re-fueling within the recovery window. A protein shake or quality chocolate milk will do until you can get to real food. 😋

🍝 Eat a balanced meal as soon as possible after your training. Focus on protein, carbs, and nutrients. This will set you up well for your next workout and a successful week of training!
