With similar mindsets and equal passion for the crazy and ridiculous realms of ultra marathon swimming Amy Gubser and Sarah Roberts from South End Rowing Club San Francisco chat with Pádraig and Jacqueline on THE DEEP END about their North Channel journeys Amy in 2018 and Sarah in 2023.
Key takeaways
Cross Current training
Year round temperatures
Know what your body needs
Push and know your braking points so their are no surprises
train in the wind not just in the pool
Allow for a taper
Train harder than what race day will give you
Realise that age means needs change - more recovery / less swimming
Lay out a plan and if its a horrible day - try td do something (safely) so as its not a surprise
Keep going | onwards
The North Channel ticks all the boxes for people, place, and she has her moods. She will challenge you mentally, emotionally and physically.
Train your mind and be mentally there
Keep feeds simple - don’t be afraid to miss a feed
Help your crew - cue them to what you would like at the next feed
Great advice on pharmacy management
