Endurance Session #163

This Endurance Session will help you strengthen your upper body. Straight after the session you might feel like chopping your arms off, but the following days you'll feel strong and in your next swim you'll feel the difference.

You'll be swimming the long distances with a pull buoy, which means you will be swimming with your arms and no kicking. The pull buoy will ensure you are swimming with a good body position (high hips and legs). While you're swimming with the pull buoy really focus on using your body rotation to generate power in your stroke, this way you'll be able to swim stronger for longer.

Swim the distances with pull buoy @ 80% effort level, which means a strong and confident stroke. The 100 or 50 Choice Easy is active recovery and you should be feeling about ready to go for your next Pull distance when you finish these.
