Training with Intention

This week Team Sirius coach and athlete Maricarmen Farias fills in for Bek and Siri and talks to us about training with intention, taking a week off two weeks before a big race and tips on what to focus on if you are struggling with motivation for training. Swimming Drills: This should be drills that will help you with your swimming. Most athletes struggle with breathing and getting their stroke rate up. Hold your head down while you are holding on to the wall and practice turning your head to 11 and 1. You should try the delayed stroke technique to help you with your stroke rate.
