Summary
Six months of consistent training. You're showing up to the pool. You're doing the sets. You're putting in the work. But your times… haven't moved. You're still sitting at 1:50, maybe two minutes per hundred, and no matter how hard you train, it just doesn't seem to change. And that can be one of the most frustrating places to be as a swimmer or triathlete. Because it feels like you're doing everything right. You're consistent. You're committed. You're following the program. But you're not getting faster. So what's actually going on? In this episode, I'm going to show you why swimmers get stuck at the same pace for months, even when they're training consistently—and more importantly, what you can do to finally break through that plateau and start dropping your times again. 00:56 Plateau of Okay 01:33 Fixing Everything At Once 01:57 Stroke Raste Too Slow 04:04 Fixing The Foundation Of The Stroke 06:13 What To Do?
