The Catch in swimming is the key for a great propulsive phase in the freestyle swim stroke.  In this second episode about swim technique, Paul Jones and Kate Charlton discuss this major part of the stroke.Couple of weeks back we started a little mini series about swim technique. In episode 1 we talked about body position in the water and touched on leg action.In this episode we build on that and discuss leg action and it's the functionality of its action before we move on the to catch phase of the arm action of the stroke. When it comes to arm action it's the best place to start. Get the catch right and your arm action has the potential to be awesome.The catch develops about 90% of your propulsionMany triathletes will over-extend and then push down on the waterDrive the hand in to the water about 30 degrees Fingers below your wristWrist below your elbowElbow below your shoulderKeep the elbow highDemonstration of the Swim Drills we used in the podcast:Kicking on your back (click here)Skull (click here)636 Drill (click here)Long Arm Doggy Paddle (click here)LINKS to the PK Triathlon YouTube page for demonstrations of the exercises: IYTWI (click here)Medial Rotation (click here)Lateral Pull (click here)

Another episode of the PK Triathlon Podcast, another amazing guest... this time Kate Charlton and Paul Jones are joined by Kevin Goldberg from Training Peaks.This episode we have another special guest, and he is a little bit nuts!This one is a little bit different.

So this week we have Kevin Goldberg from Training Peaks to talk about the benefits of Training Peaks, some new stuff that is coming out and how he got the job of being a professional match maker!Kevin is actually a pretty solid endurance athlete himself. Doing crazy (and I mean crazy) ultra distance running events... Grab a cuppa, or listen as you drive to work... this is fun!

Body position in swimming is the foundation for any freestyle swim stroke.  Paul Jones and Kate Charlton are talking about freestyle swimming technique.Episode 1 is all about body position in the water.  We see so many triathletes struggling with their swim technique, desperately trying to keep up with their piers through the water.  Killing themselves to hang on to the group in front of them.  It is one those things as a coach, when we are not coaching we sit on a pool deck watching people swimming freestyle, constantly analysing, thinking if only I could have five minutes with them to help them be more efficient in the water.You can not win a triathlon in the swim, but you can certainly lose it.Within the F4L Triathlon Coaching Squad Sessions in Northumberland our athletes get plenty of endurance and threshold work done.  However, we spend quality time working on technique and providing key coaching points to each athlete throughout the session.  Our faster swimmers complete about 3000m / hour – plenty of opportunity to work on their technique.As coaches, throughout the session I'll encourage more focus on technique with weaker swimmers.  That just means working on efficiency & technique rather than fitness.Body PositionWithout a solid foundation of nailing the body position you will be struggling from the beginning.  We see so many triathletes trying to constantly ‘cheat' by using a pull buoy.  You can't use a pull buoy in a race so you must learn to swim without one.  If you are not engaging the right muscles to lift the legs into the right position, then you will be swimming with an anchor on your feet!For all those triathletes looking to develop their swim... this is a MUST listen...We also include some videos in this episode which you can view by clicking on each one:Mushroom FloatBody PositionStreamlined BodyGlute Activations with leg liftIYTWIYou can also read more about swim technique on the F4L Triathlon Coaching website

Kate & Paul talk to Craig Johns.  It's a really enlightening episode for Triathletes, Business people and even people just trying to get through their daily lives at the moment.We talk about managing time, split tri-suits, dodgy hair cuts, working with the Dalai Lama and a golfing handicap!Craig has 25 years global experience working in the sport, health, mind, education and hospitality industries where he has thrived on helping people become high performing leaders. He is relentlessly curious and has an obsession with human behaviour and performance. After being hospitalised three times with stress related heart problems and burnout, which included flat-lining in the emergency room, Craig Johns realised that he needed to be more than a leader of high performance and become a high performing leader. He has now transferred those strategies into working with CEO's, senior executives, coaches and leaders from some of the world's leading companies including Nestle, P&G, Standard Chartered, JP Morgan, AIG, Boyden and Nike.Born in New Zealand, he has was an elite athlete he competed at the Hawaii Ironman, four World Triathlon Championships and continues to play competitive golf. A hip replacement and second pacemaker, at the age of 30, meant a full-time shift to focusing on being a high performance leader, CEO and National Head Coach.He has coached and managed multiple Olympians, National Champions and World Championship athletes. He has worked with world leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Mind and Life Institute, WTA Tennis, IRONMAN Triathlon and United World College.Seriously, this is well worth a listen and EVERYONE will be able to take something away from this podcast!

The second episode in the PK Triathlon podcast series, with Kate Charlton & Paul Jones.In this episode we talk about some of things athletes should consider doing, on a regular basis to become better Triathletes.  Using Kate's analogy of the Carrot Cake...A plain carrot cake is good, but adding the cream icing on the top of a carrot cake is better but if you really want it to be the best then you need to add even more like carefully constructed carrot shaped toppings. We know Triathletes can SWIM BIKE RUN. However, this podcast gives you ideas about the cream icing, the artistic flourishes, the stuff you should do long term, on a daily basis, to improve your (race) performance.Great online resource Renee McGregor Renee is a leading Sports and Eating disorder specialist dietitian with 20 years experience working in clinical and performance nutrition, with Olympic (London, 2012), Paralympic (Rio, 2016) and Commonwealth (Queensland, 2018) teams.https://reneemcgregor.com/
