- Do you want to complete the Ironman swim as fast as possible, maybe even less than an hour? Just like running a sub-3-hour marathon, we think that swimming under 1 hour is an equally formidable barrier for Ironman racers around the globe. Heather is here to outline what you need to do to tackle this challenge head-on!

What are your targets? Let us know 🏊♀️
Well, at least my pool is open.
Survival
Not drowning after 3.8km
2 hour 10k swim. Have been 59:52 for 5k in recent years. Was 57:10 for 5 k in 1999.
I’m training for an Olympic in June. Initially my goal was sub 30 on a mile swim prior to the race. Swam it in 28:32 today, guess I’ll adjust that down. I’m thinking 25 minutes is a good new goal.
Step 1 pick a race that the swim is in a river with a strong current and down stream swim...
Aberdovey swim - I did 13km in 2 hours 15 min. Current meant it was like flying for the first 20 min, but tide turns at 2 hours 30 so you have to beat it or it’s like an endless pool
I like this tip
And a bike with all tailwind
I did a tri in Mekong river in Thailand; 10:13min for 1.75km swim, pretty sure I hold the unofficial official world record
I'm so happy that I just got under the two hour mark, and now I am watching a video of how to do that swim in under one hour. Guess I just love day dreaming 🤣
Swimmer tip if you want guaranteed results:
Have your rest be included in your timed interval. For example, if you’re trying to make 100s on the 1:30, you need to be going again at the 1:30.
Thanks for the tip. Sounds good but confusing. What if I arrive at 1:50?
@@alvarorodriguez1592 you should probably be doing 100s on the 2:00 then.
Example: 5x100s @ 2:00 (so you leave the wall every 2 minutes. 10 seconds of rest if you come in at 1:50)
Amazing.
For most people shooting for under an hour is a bad idea. Why not swim 1:05 or even 1:10 and save some matches. Yes you “can” swim under an hour but you’re going to add potentially 30+ minutes on the run when all those matches you’ve burnt are coming back to bite you. Unless you’re trying to hit your Ironman under 10 or even faster then what’s the point? No one wins a medal for being in the top handful out of the water.
I was hoping to get a good 6 months of swim training with the aim of getting inside 90 minutes for the swim at IMUK Bolton in July. With the COVID restrictions, I'll count myself lucky to exit T1 in 2 hours.
Literally managed about 8 swims in the passed 12 months due to closures 🤷♂️
Buddy I haven't swam in 3 years and I have a 70.3 in Dec😂
That many?! I don't think I've been in a pool for at least 18 months now :(
@@graycat20 I feel for you! Yeah I went every morning I could for the few weeks it was back open.
@@tanmaygarg30 if they’re still closed I June. Get yourself in the river with a safety float 👍
Love the topic! Luckily, here in Australia (Queensland) pools are open, summer just ended, but not many triathlons. I can do a 1:45 100m but holding this for almost 4km is not something I can do yet. That's my goal
Awesome!
I swam the full distance today and it wasn't easy in itself, it took me 1h30. I very much underestimated how hard the swim would be.
Even if I could follow that plan (pools are still closed on my area). I doubt I could get there when my 100 yards are at about 2:00 minutes or a bit under in a good day 😆
Please could you do a segment on planning to achieve a sub 2.5hr OD triathlon.
Of all the goals mentioned, the 60 minute 3.8k swim is so far out of reach that if I made it my goal I would just get depressed. Can we start with a goal of 90 minutes please?
Thanks for the tips. Aiming for 1hour at Maryland Sep2021🤪
I also want a pool cuz here pools have been closed since nearly a year by now. 😥
Public pools post Covid only have 40 minute time slots which is a big issue
Here they have been closed since this time last year 🤷♂️ even the open water place near me isn’t returning till May.
@@Unders open water returning?
@@tanmaygarg30 opening for swimss
Or, sign up for IM Cozumel 🤷♂️. I did it in 55 min and I’m more of a 1:10 guy. Bit of a current in gorgeous, clear, tropical water. I highly recommend the swim there.
I own a sub 1hr IM swim. The thing l have noticed is that Triathletes do very little technique work. Drills should be part of the warm up. Everytime. A good way to improve your swimming is to do some squad work l am back doing IM after a 26yr break and am looking to go sub 1.05 next time out.
Exactly!
No pool here in Germany everything closed since Oktober 2020! No way to open the next month.. I don’t know if I could even swim? Maybe a set for dryland Training that aims the water Intervalls?
Would love a training plan similar to the ones you've created for running milestones
@Heather, can this be used as a regular weekly program forever? I like the thought of this as my regular program.
You can certainly use it as a base and make alterations as you progress. It will keep things simple for sure.
What does 1:swim /2: pull mean the ratio for time distance reps?
At 3:33 - what does "turning around on 2 minutes" mean?
Difference between pull and swim guys?
how do i not know this...
Anyhow great content thanks so much
Same what’s this
what do you mean by " turnaround " ?
what is a cutoff time for becoming ironman ?
What do you mean by “turning around”?
Look how fast they are! I’m screwed. I’m the one in the back freestyling! 😅
learn to love 6x400 1 minute rest is my tip !~
What does “turning around on 2 minutes” mean?
When you ‘go’ for your individual rep in the set. For example, swim 100m in 1.45 off 2min turn around. You’ll have 15sec rest before you go again.
If you swim a 100m in 1:30 you have 30secs of rest.
If you swim a 100m in 1:31 you have 29secs of rest.
Etc etc
Imagine you start the clock and swim 100m, you must start the next one 2' after you set off for that previous rep. Hope that helps.
Breaking 60min in 2021. Doing IM CAIRNS & IM Western Australia to aim for it. 🇦🇺
Western Australia is your best chance. Swim is a Lot faster than cairns in my experience. I’ve done 4 xcairns and 3 x WA
If only we had some pools in the UK..!
Not long 🤞
@@gtn Not long, til IM 70.3 Staffordshire either, or IMUK Bolton.
@@gtn if the rules at pools are like they have been since the first re-open any sessions are impossible. you can only swim with the traffic's pace and some pools you cannot over take.
@@brianrepper8492 clip feet till they go faster 🤫
It looks like the video has been shot at a private pool, and I somehow suspect that Heather slyly arranged that so that she could just have a swim!
Meanwhile, for me this March is probably going to be the first month when I can't find an open pool or other water body and just can't swim (I'm in Finland, not in the UK). :(
I love, love, love your content. But with swimming, I feel that your advice toggles between extremely remedial (how to swim open water at all) and the extremely advanced--like this one. I would love to see more content for the 1:35-2:00/100 m swimmer. Love what you all do!
Can’t even do 100m at 1’32”, not even with fins and paddles 😀
Maybe focus on a sub 30 or better 70.3 swim
I do 4 nights on shift and then 4 days off then 4 days on shift and 4 days off again . How can I fit 2 to 3 sessions of swim plus all my other training in ?
Sustanon 250
Do I need a pool to do this
🤣🤣🤣
No. Your neighbours will be fine after they leave for work.
Could you elaborate on what does “pull” mean?
arms only, no kicking. grab a buoy to help your legs not drag. may even want to find some paddles to have these parts help focus your stroke technique & pull strength.
any runner and swimmer put this goal into perspevtive runningwise
It's work for me to hold 2:05/100m... I don't think I'll be able to get there.
what is turning around ypu are saying?
Maybe cool down?
3860m?
Best advice- keeping reps 400 or less. Most volume should be reps and not a single long effort - your technique will break down... 300s or 400s on a so called long swim - Great example with the broken 3800m
Then how do I keep the correct tecnique on the event if I don't have longer reps?
With a sprinter background Although I can do 100m reps in 1:20s I'm having trouble breaching 1:40s on longer reps.
there's a regular at my gym who does this. i never really understood and honestly continue to not understand. can you explain why this type of technique is not used in running or cycling? why practice something that you will be unable to implement in the actual race (unless you plan on stopping every 400m)
@@esoteric404 It is used in both running and cycling in the form of intervals.
@@krazii1991 interval training for HR maybe, however i've never encountered it as a means for improving form.
I want to do a triathlon .
So far I did max. 25k & cycling 20k
But at this point of time I have very little monetary support or income source to proceed my goal
Can U help me out of this.
Stick to sprint triathlons at first. Won’t take as much training an the entry fees aren’t too high (typically around £40 for local events). Try and get your riding distance up a little as you’ll need to do 20K for the event and stick in some brick session into your training to get used to running off the bike. The main thing new comers to the sport forget is that putting all 3 sports together takes practice so make sure you include transitioning from one sport to the other in training
The Question is Have you broke them have you achieve that
That is not a good video, to say the least, or to stay polite... They start by saying that to swim 3.8k under an hour you will have to, at least, swim 3 times a week for a total of at least 10k. Well... if you don't easily swim 1:34/100m there is no way you will get under 60 min with so less of a volume. Than, the video just takes for granted that your technique is already fine since they say, like if it was nothing, that swimming 1:34 for 100m is a thing but to go the distance at that pace is something else... right, but you first have to be able to swim 1:34/100m for a pretty good fraction of an Ironman swim lenght to start thinking about a sub-60. The problem is: if you already swim 1:34/100m, you don't need a 10 min video to tell you what to do... you already are a good enough and experienced a swimmer to aim for such a goal. That video makes me want to do a parody of it with running just to show how absurd his content is: You want to run a sub 2:00 marathon ? Ok, so, 3 times a week, do some reps of 1 km at race pace (or around 2:50/km), then after 8 weeks increase the duration of your intervals at that pace !!! You see, that's easy !!!
...Just do it. Nike
In other words put in four times my current effort in swimming to save a maximum of 20 minutes. Yeah that’s definitely not worth it.
I never understood how to swim quick in real life, it took me from age 19 up to age 24 to get 100m in 1.30, I had a decent improvement at age 25 when my 100m dropped to 1.18 put I could only average 1.30 per 100 for 200m . Its kind of funny when I exist the water with old people or first timers and then go on to bike 4.40 for the 180km and run 3.05 for the marathon, some people just can't swim fast for long no matter how many years they train. Gains in fitness never really did anything for my swimming because my average ironman swim is only 1.5hrs , i just can't caught my breath on the swim
