Jon Urbanchek’s School of Training Jon with some of his Olympians
Training Philosophy • Training Philosophy 200,400 meters Modify: Less for 50,100,200 More for 800,1500, 10K • Keep It Simple Part Science – Part Art of Coaching C. What Works Producing good results
Training Concepts 2 • Work is Aerobic, xygen pay as you go Endurance/Capacity • Work is Anaerobic, pay later Oxygen Debt – Build up of Lactic Acid / Race Pace Training • Transition Point not so clear Balance in O2 uptake Stead State / Threshold 2 2
Training Models • Using threshold to Rx intensity and heart rate • Rotate workloads in weekly micro cycle • Improvements in threshold pace indicates increased endurance, 2
Middle Distance Training • Middle of the swim continuum between 50 & 1500 • Most common among freestylers • Good combo fast twitch fibers/anaerobic speed and slow twitch aerobic/endurance • Wide range of training both speed & endurance - fun & variety
2 Main Groups • 100 – 200- 400 / 500 The Anaerobic Angle (Thorpe, Phelps, Agnel, Muffat, Dwyer) • 1500 - 400 – 200 The Aerobic Angle (Hackett, Vanderkaay, Mellouli, Sun, Jaeger, Ledecky, Friis)
Middle Distance Characteristics • Like to train • Good sense of pace • Ideal stroke rate • 4 – 6 beat kick
Jon’s School of Training • Training intensities are determined from the Anaerobic threshold pace/100 meters or yards • COLORCODED – • Threshold pace can be determined from: • Blood lactate tests • Interval sets • Continuous steady state swim
Threshold Test Sets • Continuous steady state swim 20 – 30 min Most optimal for distance swimmers • Blood lactate test / step test Optimal for anaerobic swimmers • Interval test sets 10 x 200 or 8 x 300 average; 20 – 30 sec rest intervals • All out 500 / 400 / 200 yard/meter effort (200 is least reliable)
Jon’s Excel Program • Select distances swum straight or interval average time or any single test distance of 500, 400, 200 time. • To check the level of effort take 10 sec heart rate at 0-10 sec; 30-40 sec; 1:00 – 1:10 after test. • Sample (30 – 25 – 20 = 75 bpm) • Select spreadsheet (write over it). Enter name, stroke, time (no colons). Hit enter and all new training paces appear.
Endurance Training • Basic aerobic training EN-1 • 5% below threshold • WHITE and PINK Color Codes • low intensity • short rest 10 – 20 sec rest • heart rate 130 – 150 bpm • recovery & technique work
REDColor Code Optimal intensity for Threshold improvement 15-20 sec rest 30 – 40 min durations Lactate 3 – 4 mM Heart rate 150 – 170 Optimal Threshold Training – EN-2
BLUE Color Code Slightly above threshold 20 to 30 sec rest 20 to 30 minutes duration Uncomfortable Slightly above threshold 4-5 mM Heart rate 160 to 180 duration Up to 200 M lengths Threshold Training – EN-2
Maximum VO2 Training EN-3Race Pace • 7% faster than (Red) Threshold pace • :30 – 1:30 seconds rest • PURPLE Color Code • Ideal for race pace training • Intensity high • Lactate 6 to 8 mM, buffering & tolerance • Heart rate 180 to 190 • Use 50’s & 100’s & 150’s
Lactate Production SP-2 • Using GREEN Color Code • Can be used for training and testing Training for 100 6 X 50 at 8:00 92% of best time Training for 200 6 X 100 at 8:00 92% of best time Training for 400 6 X 200 at 8:00 94% 96% of best time
200 M % Chart 400 pace 1500 pace
Race Pace Correlation • Excellent correlations to goal times • Use 3-4 min active rest between swims • Maximum lactate production / buffering • Maximum heart rates
Color Use • Early season: White, Pink,Red • Mid season: White, Pink,Red, Blue,Purple • Pretaper: Red,Blue,Purple,Green(Race Pace) • Taper: Customise
Alactic / Speed Training SP-3 • Short, fast, explosive sprints, 10 – 25 meters • 10 to 20 repetitions • :30 to 1:00 minutes rest • Lactate build up is marginal • Heart rate below maximum • Recommended for 50 – 100 – 200 swimmers at any time of the season
Collegiate SeasonSept - November 1st Macrocycle (12 weeks) 6 weeks skill development / heart rate < 150, White & Pink Colors 6 weeks threshold – VO2MAX – Race Pace, White Pink Red Blue Purple Major competition (one week taper)
Collegiate SeasonDec - February 2nd Macrocycle (15 weeks) 3 weeks aerobic endurance training 10 weeks all training zones more emphasis on Race Pace and lactate production Dual meet season
Collegiate SeasonMarch 3rd Macrocycle 3 week taper period Dryland reduced to maintenance and dropped 10 days out Training distance gradually reduced from 60 - 70K per week to 20 - 30K per week
