Swimming Long with an Olympian!

Jamaican Olympic swimmer Jevon Atkinson joined me for a brutal set of 40 x 100 yards on a 1:25 interval (no rest) at our local outdoor pool.  As a sprinter, he was a little worried about going that far, but we both rocked it! We ended up doing a 1:23 pace, well under the 60 minute mark for a full Ironman swim (4225 yards, or 2.4 miles)

We captured the before and after of the swim, talking about "what it takes" to go long.  As you can see, there is a lot of psychology in distance swimming.  What do you think of when in the water that long?  Find out!

I wrap up the video with discussion about nutrition, form, and a quick cameo by Roxy.

Sign up for ZenTri Base Camp here and we hope to see you there!

Running on Oranges

Always look for the natural version before you turn to fake.  It's easy to carry these little oranges with you; they're loaded with energy-giving sugar and the peel is a great wrapper.
