今日の選手たちへのメッセージ。
I was planning a meeting on Zoom, but due to successive schedule changes, I couldn't proceed. What I wanted to share in the meeting before this classic week was what athletes should focus on during this time for training, and how parents should support these athletes. For example, yesterday I introduced the importance of gut health, and I plan to share a topic every day throughout the classic week. If you have any questions about these topics or anything else, or if you're wondering what to do in certain situations, please feel free to contact me without hesitation. Let's prepare ourselves and get through the classic week with determination.
The Classic Week, also known as Hell Week, refers to a period of intense training in an old-school Spartan style, pushing athletes hard. The effectiveness of training camps has been well-documented, showing results that often surpass those of regular training. During Classic Week, we're planning to achieve similar training effects as a camp while commuting from home. Let's make sure to participate in all schedules to ensure we're fully prepared.
Ultra Short Race Pace Training (USRPT) is a training methodology used in competitive swimming to improve race performance. It involves swimming repetitions at race pace or faster, with short rest intervals between repetitions. The main idea behind USRPT is to train the body to swim at the desired race pace while maintaining proper technique and form.
The key components of USRPT include:
- Race Pace Training: Swimmers perform repetitions at their target race pace or slightly faster, typically for short distances that mimic race lengths.
- Short Rest Intervals: Rest intervals between repetitions are kept minimal to simulate race conditions and improve anaerobic capacity.
- Focus on Technique: Emphasis is placed on maintaining proper stroke technique and form even when swimming at high speeds.
- Individualized Training: Workouts are tailored to each swimmer's specific race goals and strengths, allowing for personalized training regimens.
The benefits of USRPT include:
- Specificity: By training at race pace, swimmers develop the specific energy systems and muscle memory needed for optimal performance in competition.
- Efficiency: USRPT workouts are typically shorter in duration compared to traditional training methods, making them efficient for athletes with busy schedules.
- Improved Speed and Endurance: Regular practice of swimming at race pace can lead to improvements in both speed and endurance, as the body becomes more accustomed to sustaining high speeds over race distances.
- Reduced Risk of Overtraining: The focus on shorter, high-intensity repetitions with adequate rest helps prevent overtraining and reduces the risk of injury.
Overall, USRPT is a targeted and effective training approach for competitive swimmers looking to maximize their performance in races

そして今日もMount Fabreへ。
27日連続で2回プラスして45。
そのままサイクリングを続けて。
Marina BayからEast Coast Parkへ。
久しぶりに強いUVを浴びました。
早めに帰ってoatmealのお好み焼き。
早めに休みました。
