    I have a similar set that's a bit more intense - 23 x 100 @ 1:40. 1 fast, 1 easy, 2 fast, 1 easy, 3 fast, 1 easy, 4 fast, 1 easy, 3 fast, 1 easy, 2 fast, 1 easy, 1 fast, 1 easy. interval should give 30-35 seconds rest. I usually average 1:05 on these. The hardest part is holding stroke on the 2nd half of the set particularly on the 2nd round of 3 fast...

    I remember racing an 800m freestyle against a local upcoming 'talent' once.
    I was determined to not lose to this upstart.
    And much to everyones suprise I could actually keep up with him...
    ...for about 375 meters. After that it was the longes 800m of my life :p
    Pacing's important kids, hahaha
    Oh, and 4.25 is really damn quick. Makes me really curious about Mark's 50m and 100m times

    • @realalbertan
      @realalbertan Před 5 lety

      last masters meet I went out way too fast in the 800... 1:02ish swam 9:00. Next day went out in 1:04.9 & my 800 split in the 1500 was 0.2 faster, still a tad rich but lesson learned. Looking to beat my 8:51 from 2018. Not too shabby for 42 🏊‍♂️

    • @realalbertan

      Hats off to you sir. Best I could manage when I was 17 was 10 minutes or something.
      8.51 would probably make you Dutch masters 40+ champion or someting :p
      27 and 59 seems a bit slow to me though..
      I mean, even I can do 25 high (okay, low 26) and 57ish these days still...
      Or would that just be the difference between sprinters and distance swimmers then?

    I really like the idea of these but these are a no go for open water. That is where I really think they’d be useful. Tried them out and they worked great in the pool but not at all in OWS and it was really hard to see the display in outdoor pool swimming since it’s much brighter.

  • @peterliljebladh
    @peterliljebladh Před 3 lety +1

    Can someone please point me towards a video that explains how the goggles measure all those metrics?
    Do the goggles have their own sensors or are they relying on data from your wristwatch?

    • @FORMswim
      @FORMswim Před 3 lety +1

      In the pool and in open water without a compatible smartwatch, the goggles use a complex algorithm using machine learning and a built in gyroscope and accelerometer to track head movement. If you are using the goggles connected to a compatible smartwatch in open water, the swim is tracked and recorded by the watch and simply uses the goggles as a display.
      We don’t have a video explaining how the goggles work at the moment but it’s a great idea - we’ll suggest it to our team.

    I love my tech and have been toying with the idea of getting a pair of these goggles. but as far as pacing goes I've found using a Finis tempo trainer really helps and it costs a fraction of the price. also used in races for course PBs. Why should I go for Form over Finis?

    how does this show the goggles help you pace yourself? You clearly went harder the second time around and by 7 seconds no less. It was a 4:23 not 4:25. This just shows that you warmed up with the first 400 effort. If you felt like you were slowing down in the first 400 then you should have sped up like you did in the second effort. What exactly were you trying to show?

      bighammer trust me, that is a max effort for me these days. If anything, I didn’t have anywhere near enough recovery after the first one either. Merely aiming to show that a better paced effort can in fact end up with the better overall time. I’m sorry if that didn’t come across that clearly in the video though
