She was training for her first Ironman. She\u2019d been swimming for about a year\u2014consistent, disciplined, three sessions a week, following her program exactly as written. But there was a problem. She was exhausted after every session. And her pace hadn\u2019t improved in four months. In this episode, we unpack what was really going on\u2014because when you\u2019re doing all the \u201cright\u201d things but not getting faster, it\u2019s rarely about working harder. It\u2019s about working smarter. We\u2019ll talk about why consistency alone isn\u2019t enough, the hidden mistakes that keep adult swimmers stuck, and how small technical and structural changes in your training can unlock real progress. If you\u2019re training for an Ironman\u2014or any long-distance event\u2014and feel like you\u2019re spinning your wheels in the water, this episode will show you what to look at, what to adjust, and how to start moving forward again. 01:19 From 2:10 to 1:55 Per Hundred 01:43 What Was Happening? 03:04 Getting A Good Catch 04:10 Think Of The Catch As The Set Up 05:53 Connect With The Water 06:54 What To Do?
