This week I talk to Will Philpot the head coach of Crawley Swimming Club. We discuss the different schools of thought in what to do this year with the summer break. Do you just train straight through because of the time we had off during Covid? Do you reduce the volume? Or do you stop all together? We go over these different options and the benefits and drawbacks of each. We also discuss the mental and physical side of recovery that is needed to better enhance athlete development.
