Get Faster (Beginner) - week 3

Blake StonerBlake Stoner
in Coaching Forum 🧢

Looking ahead to next week's workouts and I have a couple of questions:

1. Please explain the Mon-Wed swim workouts which show 3x100(20") Descend....   Also, please explain when there is two ("") quote marks.  I couldn't find anything on either.

2  Is this plan not supposed to have another rest day until week 8?  I know to listen to my body but this seems to go against everything that I have read on EN.

Thanks

    Descend means to get faster across each 100....so the first one is like 1:45, then 1:42, then 1:39.

    The " means seconds, the ' means minutes.

    The get faster plan has minimal days off due to the condensed version of workouts; should you need a day off, just post here what days you want off and what discipline is your focus.....thanks!

    There are some workouts in this plan that have double quotes. ("")  Typo?
  • Coach PatrickCoach Patrick
    Yes, most likely. Feel free to cut / paste them here for my review!

    Got it...those should all just be single " for seconds. Thanks for noting that!
