#287 : [Case Study] 3 Minutes Off A Half Ironman Swim with Seb Wichmann


Listen Later

My guest today is Seb Wichmann, who attended one of our clinics in 2022. He was averaging around a 2:05 to 2:10 per hundred and said he was happy to survive a 1K swim at the pool and has now got himself down to around a 1:45. Tune in to the episode now! 

01:02 What challenges did you face transitioning from cycling to triathlon and swimming? 02:02 In the beginning, did you teach yourself or did you have a coach to help you? 02:59 What techniques did you learn from the clinic that you can apply to improve your performance going forward? 05:52 How often have you been getting in the water? 07:00 How long did it take you to start seeing results with those changes? 10:27 What motivated you to persevere and not give up? 11:14 Did you initially believe that you could develop a love for swimming, or did you find it to be a less enjoyable activity compared to cycling? 17:33 Did you have moments of success followed by setbacks, or were there variations in performance across different training sessions? 20:15 Do you feel any different when you go to the pool now compared to 12 months ago? 24:13 What advice would you give to someone who was in your shoes 12 months ago? 30:00 How to apply "squeezing the butt cheeks" as a beginner?
