    The great form most likely helps :) She keeps up 100m @1:10 for 10K to finish Sub 2 hours. On a 1500 she splits sub 1:04 to finish comfortably below 16:00.

    Missed this one. I have never seen this cross over kick. Really strange thing to me. Kind of looks like a half kick rather than a full power kick, which is the one that links to the arm pull.

  • @glynnbuxton3349
    @glynnbuxton3349 3 года назад +4

    Is she perhaps hitting the water with her elbow first because she is an open water swimmer usually swimming against waves where lifting your arm out of the water and fighting waves is a technique in itself?

    • @vincentfeitsma
      @vincentfeitsma 5 месяцев назад

      I think Brenton is right, whatever the reason is. Even in open water hitting the water elbow first is something inefficiënt. Het right arm has the right technique so left is a little bit out of balance.

    Great swimmer obviously and nice video 👍. Interesting to see she is barely swimming front quadrant. Totally opposite to her fellow country-man who won gold in the Rio 10k men’s race, he was almost doing a catch up drill for the whole race. I think the point is everyone needs to find a style that suits them 👍

      Interesting observation, actually. I remember watching a short version of the men 10k swimming race and thought the same about the winner. I agree that on a elite level everybody needs to find a style that suits them even its a bit out of the box.

    Hi there, I have a problem that whenever I turn to breathe, my kick at least doubles in speed. As a result, it exhausts me to the point where I can barely swim 25m because I can't seem to get enough oxygen and my heart rate goes through the roof.
    I've been drilling my kick and finally, my legs don't sink, which I thought was the initial reason to exhaust myself to the point of hell. I've been trying to fix this with fins and it seems to help, yet, when I take the fins off, it's back to this weird pattern.
    I picked up swimming during the covid and started in September, so - around 6 weeks now so I assume, I still need to build lung capacity.
    Do you have any tips regarding this?

    Could you go into detail or do a show on the Crossover Kick? I'm just getting into Triathlon and my swim has progressed from 2:20/100 to 1:40/100. But my biggest hurdle right now is over kicking, which increases my heart rate, breathing, and causes me to pause after 25m/50m to rest for a min. Since you mentioned the Crossover kick is used for distance swimming, I believe this could really help me from over kicking.

    • @runningbuddy946
      @runningbuddy946 3 года назад +2

      I overcame the tired feeling from over-kicking by syncing my stroke with my kick. I practiced it with a 2 beat kick very slowly. I wasn't very efficient at first but improving every week now.
      Start by pushing off the wall and doing left side stroke with a left side kick and glide with the right arm leading. Then go back to the wall to do the right side. Then when you are comfortable with that, combine 1 left then 1 right stroke with kicks synced. It's a progression. Just keep that form and control your kick. What I found is that my feet stay at the surface much easier and my HR is lower. I am working it up to a 4 beat kick now. Good luck!
