Coaches Top Tip

  • Try hard or perform well? Which is preferred for your brain surgeon? It's the same for athletes. Train for performance, not effort.
  • In the spring you may begin to feel bullet-proof. Resist the temptation to leap tall buildings. Patience!
  • The harder your hard workouts, the easier your easy ones.
  • Want to be excellent? Everyone has the desire to excel; few have the will to make it happen.
  • You can't make a tired muscle stronger. You can only improve its endurance.
  • Being 100% healthy is more important than being 100% fit. Don't force it in the early stages of injury or illness. Back off.
  • For the experienced athlete, intensity, not volume, is the key.
  • I discover who I am when I race.
  • Training your muscles is much more important than training your heart.
  • Training is science. Racing is art.
  • True champions win, but they also know how to lose.
  • Swimmers, golfers and tennis players practice skills daily. Too many runners and cyclists just run and ride.
  • Everyone has the will to win. It's the will to work that makes winners.
  • The closer to your A-priority race the less important volume becomes and the more important intensity & duration become.
  • Focus on the process, not the outcome.
  • The 2 main elements of recovery are sleep and nutrition. Neglect either and recovery is prolonged.
  • Whether you're a pro or novice, only 3 things can be changed in workouts: frequency (how often), intensity (how hard), duration (how long).
  • When you come into top form you experience physical changes that border on astonishing.
  • Do you accept setbacks as steps on the way to success or as signs you simply can't do it?
  • Discipline: how important to you are nutrition, sleep, periodization, goal setting, sport skills, attitude, health, strength?
  • What does it take to be mentally tough for sport? Dedication. Discipline. Confidence. Perseverance.
  • The most common mistake athletes make? Not enough rest. Rest is when fitness happens.
  • No dreams, no goals and no priorities means permanent mediocrity.
  • The bigger your athletic goals, the more your lifestyle must be focused on achieving them.
  • Most athletes don't get how important movement economy is. Most would go faster from improved economy than from improved VO2max.
  • As you approach race day your training should become more like the race. This is the foundation of periodization.
  • The common denominator for all of the best athletes I have known is a 'can-do' attitude.
  • Four words are the keys to success for top performers: Just a little more.
  • Good athletes don't become good by training randomly. You need a plan to achieve your goals and purpose for each workout.
  • Do the least amount of most specific training at appropriate times that produces the desired results. All else is overtraining.
  • I see many goals that are actually wishes - vague desires for grand achievements that are poorly defined. Clarity is needed for success.
  • Recovery is just as important as a hard workout. Train hard. Rest harder.
  • Racing is how I find out who I am, what my limits are, and how I can overcome them.
  • Best way to improve running? Frequency. Most common cause of running injuries? Frequency.
  • A hard workout only creates the potential for fitness. It's realized when you allow for recovery.
  • Peak athletic success takes months and years, not hours and days. Be patient and train consistently.
  • High frequency improves sport skill efficiency. High duration does the opposite.
  • Consistent and moderate training are the keys to success in endurance sport.
  • To run or climb faster remove excess weight, increase muscular power, or, preferably, both. It's hard to be fast dragging an anchor.
  • 1 pound of excess fat costs roughly 1.5 watts on a climb and 2 seconds per mile when running a 10k.
  • The fastest way to raise your VO2max is to lose excess weight.
  • If you haven't changed your mind on how you train in 2 years, check your pulse. You may be dead.
  • In order to find your limits, it is sometimes necessary to exceed them. But rarely.

Swim Camp
Summary:

*LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE, BOOK NOW TO AVOID MISSING OUT*

We are delighted to have teamed up for another year with the UK’s top triathlon swim coach Dan Bullock from Swim For Tri to organise a unique Swim Faster Camp. This camp is now back by popular demand, it was an amazing experience last year with Swimmers improving massively and having a great holiday in the sunshine. The camp will be limited to 15 athletes to ensure each participant receives lots of 1-2-1 coaching and analysis from Dan Bullock. We will also be joined by London Duathlon and World Age Group Duathlon Champion Victoria Gill on this camp, who will be on hand to offer running advice, analysis and leading optional runs during the week.

In 2012 we were lucky enought to be training at the same time at the German and Dutch National Swim Teams who were training for the Olympics including the current Olympic Champion and WR Holder in the 100m Freestyle, Britta Steffen. Ian Thorpe was also training here the week before our camp in 2012.


Check out some of the photos from the 2012 Swim Faster Camp with Dan Bullock on our Facebook Page. You can also read our 2012 Camp Report on Triathlete Europe.

You will spend a week in beautiful, sunny Tenerife receiving coaching from Dan Bullock on this limited number, maximum personal attention swim training camp for triathletes. The camp will take place from 16-23 February 2013 and we will be based at the world class training facility of Tenerife Top Training on the south of the Island, a short transfer from TFS Tenerife Airport. This location is perfect with its year round warm sunny conditions. 

Swim Specific Camp
By working closely with Dan Bullock you will be swimming faster and with less effort so you are fresher for the bike and run come the new racing season. Holding this camp in February is the perfect time for learning new skills and then having time to go home after the camp and apply what you learned from Dan Bullock during the camp as well as adapting to your new stroke. During the week you will be videoed by Dan Bullock using an underwater camera and receive feedback in the evenings on your video footage. You will receive coaching from Dan Bullock in both the 25m & 50m pools as well as open water swimming in the beautiful clear warm water at the local sandy beaches.

When you sign up for this unique Tri Dynamic Swim Faster Camp with Dan Bullock you will gain free access to a special 'members area' on the Swim For Tri website where you will have access to 220 Triathlon magazine articles on open water swimming written by Dan Bullock and be able to watch swim drills and technique videos. Plus you will receive weekly 'On Your Own' swim session emails from Dan Bullock with main sets to guide you through Winter in the build up to the camp and into race season. The sessions will cover all ability ranges from Sprint through to Ironman so whatever your distance you will be swimming faster in 2013. Book by 6th September 2012 to take advantage of our early booking discount. Prices will go up after this date.
Description:

 

The camp will be based at the world class training facility of Tenerife Top Training. The onsite facilities observe the highest technical and official standards and you will be spoilt for choice with two world class pools to choose from; a 25m pool, a 10 lane 50m Olympic pool and you will have the option to experience the most advanced hydrodynamic swim flume channel in the world.

 


Check out this video of Dan Bullock testing out the amazing Swim Flume at T3 which swimming legends Ian Thorpe, Stefan Nystrand, Hannah Miley, Paul Biedermann and Britta Steffen have all used to improve their technique.

Dan Bullock:
Dan Bullock has been coaching since 1990. He is a keen Swimmer and Triathlete who has helped thousands get fit and fast for adventures from their first novice TRI to the Channel Swim. Dan coaches swimmers and triathletes of all abilities from beginner right up to 3 x IM 70.3 Champion Emma-Kate Lidbury. Dan's accolades include being National Masters Champion (2008/09), a British AG Record Holder (800m), European Masters Medallist and is a Double-Ironman finisher. He is also National Open Water Champion 2010/11 and 2011 ASA Masters 1500 Champion. His sessions are a great mixture of flawless skill, infectious motivation and general amenability. As well as teaching people how to move more effortlessly and efficiently in the water, he’s a 9 year student of Bikram yoga and has swum inside of 45mins for 3.8km, so you will be in expert hands throughout the week. Check out this video of Dan Bullock coaching.

Dan Bullock says “Tri Dynamic is a company I have long admired for the quality of the coaching staff they bring to their clients. I was honoured to be asked to join them as a swim specialist working at the high class facilities available. This year the SFT methodology has helped 5 swimmers qualify for Kona. I look forward to sharing these ideas during the many swim lessons we have available.”

Who is the camp for?
This camp is perfect if you are a duathlete looking to get into triathlon or for triathletes or swimmers looking to get faster if you have hit a plateau. Due to limiting the numbers on the camp Dan will be able to work closely with each participant ensuring that everyone will leave this camp swimming faster and with less effort whether you are looking to break 20, 25 or 30 minutes plus for an Olympic distance or just looking to get in under the cut off in your next Ironman. You can also really benefit if you have reached a technical or fitness plateau or for triathletes looking to make that next leap in performance but who are let down by their poor swimming technique. Although this is a swim focused camp there will also be gaps in the schedule for those athletes who wish to go for runs and cycles by themselves for recovery and a change of scenery. The idea of this camp is to come away having learnt how to train and race smarter as well as getting in some quality swim yards in the sun working with a world class coach.

Here is what one camp participant from 2012 said about her experience of the Dan Bullock Swim Faster Camp;
'Thank you very much for organising such a fantastic camp. It couldn’t have been bettered and I am eagerly anticipating the announcement of a similar camp for next year.'
Verity, Oxford

**Please note that you do not need to worry about being slower than anyone else.** We welcome all abilities and the swim sets will be based on time not distance which means the group will stay together during sessions and no one will be left behind. If you have any concerns about your ability please feel free to email us.
Venue:
You will stay at a quality 3* Hotel by the beach on a Half Board Basis a short walk away from T3 and the world class swimming complex.
