Podcast appearances and mentions of sheila taormina

Dean and Paula explain several swimming drills that can be used to increase speed in the water. They make reference to the VeloPress book by Sheila Taormina called Swim Speed Secrets. The drills discussed include: sculling, streamline drill, press out, recovery drill, finish drill, hand entry drill, Tarzan drill, and vertical kicking. They also discuss Total Immersion, gliding, and the high-elbow catch. Also in this episode they discuss: the Mesa Marathon, Boston 2022, Yuko Gordon, and Changpeng Zhao. RyR is a team of runners and triathletes who receive comprehensive and customized coaching. The team name has dual meanings. The first is based in Hebrews 12:1 in which Christians are instructed to run the race set before us. In this context, RyR stands for Run your Race, with an emphasis on meeting you (the athlete) where you are and coming alongside you to help you reach your goals. The verse emphasizes patience, endurance, and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success as both athletes and coaches. The second meaning is based on the enduring friendship and marriage between the founding coaches, Dean and Paula Roberts. In this context, RyR stands for Roberts and Roberts. While our primary mission is to help athletes set and reach fitness and performance goals, we understand that this must occur within the context of each athlete's daily life. We strive to form an individual relationship with each athlete and make sure weekly training fits seamlessly into family life and work schedules.

Four-Time Olympian Sheila Taormina Sheila Taormina was an Olympian in swimming (gold, 1996), triathlon (2000 & 2004) and equestrian (2008).  She's stayed busy in retirement as a swim instructor, author, and speaker. Her latest book, Swim Speed Strokes, was recently released. She has also authored Swim Speed Secrets and Swim Speed Workouts For Swimmers And Triathletes.   This is material from her latest book, posted at SwimSpeedSecrets.com: Each of the four strokes—butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle—is represented in the photos on page 7 (below). Each photo captures the stroke during the catch phase of the pull. The arms you see in these photos are the arms of world-record holders swimming the stroke naturally. None of the photos were staged. Can you match the photo with the stroke? Take a close look and really give this some thought.

Training Questions First year triathlete Ryan Lewis joins the show to ask his training questions.  Ryan is a 30 year old triathlete with 3 months of training under his belt and he is less than a month away from his first triathlon. Topics covered include: Crossfit and triathlon at the same time Paleo diet and carb intake needed for training Open water swimming prep and drills Adding run intensity Should he get a wetsuit? Zero drop shoes Aerobars And more... It's easy to get overwhelmed with the information and equipment choices available to triathletes. Ryan wisely makes the choice to keep things simple during his first year in the sport. Basic Drills & Skills For Open Water Swimming 1. Turn around before the wall - during a segment of your workout turn around without the help of the wall, either with or without a flip turn. 2. Learn bilateral breathing - learn to breathe to the left and to the right so you can make adjustments in the open water.  If you're staring into the sunrise every time you breathe right, you'll be thankful for the ability to breathe to the left. 3. Learn to draft - if you do all of your swimming on your own you won't realize the benefits of drafting off swimmers in front of you. Just like cycling, you will save energy in the draft.  Practice swimming right behind your training partner. 4. Swim freestyle with your head out of the water for a full length.  Get used to being able to look forward while swimming. 5. Swim in the pool with your eyes close to learn which way you drift. 6. Practice open water swimming often so you feel comfortable. Books Swim Speed Secrets by Sheila Taormina available at Amazon.com or http://sheilat.com/ Total Immersion available at Amazon.com
