If they are injured they might add a 7th or 8th swim in or put a couple of double swims in. There is a session in each week which ticks one of the mental, physiological or mechanical demands of race day of what they have to deliver on race day. We would either split lanes on ability or necessity of what someone is working on, so we might have more of a speed or strength orientated set.0:06:45 explains what a typical day looks like for him as a coach0:07:55 Adam explains the nature of the swim squad at Loughborough.0:08:30 talks through the land based conditioning room, that athletes often go into 15 minutes before their swim session.0:09:20 George reflects on his swim session and explains what he eats before and after swimming0:10:45 Interview with Jonathan Riall – Head Coach of the British Paratriathlon programme. Explains the idea behind Thursday Breakfast club, which they have held every Thursday since 2014- it’s an opportunity for everyone to get together, integrate some of the younger athletes and builds good relationships.0:31:30 – Breakfast chat with George Peasgood at the Elite Athlete Hotel in Loughborough. George explains how he got into triathlon, following his family into it. "I came to a talent ID day in 2011 and found out I was classifiable and after A Levels, Loughborough seemed the obvious choice. For as long as I am a Paralympic triathlete, I will be here." 0:49:15 – At the gym with Para Tri guide Nikki Bartlett. And how even she can feel intimidated when she is just getting back into the early season s+c sessions. The programme is heavy weight lifting, few reps. She has an S+C session which is completely individualised to each athlete. "I need more upper body to lower and I respond better to heavy weights."0:59:30 Lunch and interview with 4x Paralympian Claire Cashmore who started swimming when she was 12 years old and went to her first Paralympics at the age of 16, but switched to Para Triathlon after the Rio Olympics. Admits that ‘swimming is quite boring’ but she loves the variety of triathlon and the fact you can see a lot of the countries you go to and you can actually talk!
