Thanks for the great video ! What’s a good time to complete each 200 in the hypoxic training set? I tried it today and was able to complete it comfortably with a 2 beat kick.
It’s just depends on your ability , it’s not so much about speed as it is about holding the breath pattern , obviously the faster you can do it , the harder it becomes…if you are swimming in a 25m pool and if you are doing it faster than 3:40 you are doing it really well
Nice! Hypoxic training is so important. By adapting to lower oxygen levels, the body increases its efficiency in using oxygen, leading to improved endurance. Can't wait to try the tough drills including the 200 breathing every 7 stokes. This may help you kick off the wall longer after a flip-turn, before you need to grab more air.
I tried for years to breathe on every 3rd arm pull, and could NEVER make it past 100 yards without gasping for air. This did include hypoxic training. I am guessing I burn O2 at a higher rate than most others. A comment from Gary Hall was that women burn O2 and process lactic acid differently than men, and that got me to thinking again, which is dangerous.... If you watch Ariarne Titmus and compare her to Katie Ledecky, Ariarne swims on a 2, 2, 3 or 4 breathing pattern, and Katie breathes on a once per arm cycle. The women tend to breathe on a different pattern than men, pretty much all the time. Some women, maybe half, breathe every other arm pull, and some use other patterns. I have seen all of these breathing "mistakes" in the pool. Posture must remain straight line, no turning/twisting of the head, no lifting of the head. It would be interesting if we could take those O2 sensors to the pool and test people after some of their swims.
Titmus when racing is breathing when you wants to breathe and that was my main point breath naturally when you need it and don’t hold yourself to a breath pattern when racing 💪 Robo sounds like you have some untapped potential if you could master the hypoxic work👊👊
Ariarne swims with an even cadence arm pull which means she has both arms in the front quadrant at all times. Katie swims with the gallop stroke which is an uneven cadence with the breathing arm staying out front for a slight pause before her other arm recovers. This ends up with her not having both arms in the front quadrant on one stroke. The breathing side arm pulls to midway or so before the recover arm starts to pull. As for untapped potential, I can, well used to be able to hold my breath for 2 minutes. I just run out of 02 if I am not breathing every other stroke.
Looks good but if I breathe every stroke that’s going to slow me down because there’s a pause when you reach out and pull, even with kicks. How can I overcome that or should I stick with bilateral breathing, which seems like a happy medium? Thanks
Definitely don’t settle for less than the best, keep doing it and you will figure out how to generate momentum when you go for that breath.. drive the hips and shoulders together to cause that glide💪👊

Yes very true! Go for it! You can do it
