Running Faster is Different Than Swimming Faster in Effort
You Cannot Pull More / Kick More to go Faster with the Combat Side Stroke (CSS)
Recently, I had a coaching ah-ha moment while explaining to a few land athletes why swimming faster isn't the same as running faster. I was watching them take the PST swim portion of the 500 yd in a pool. I had taught them the stroke process (pull-breathe-kick-glide), and both were doing 50 seconds, 50 yards in 5-6 strokes to get across the pool. That is what I try to get people to do (or even fewer strokes). But when they were being tested, the adrenaline and the sense of speed they knew on land took over, and the glide phase was ignored. It now takes them 10-11 strokes to cross the pool, doubling their effort and reducing their goal pace after 200yds. They were too tired to maintain the pace of a yard/second.
