WEEK 3, Day 5: 25-40 minute run/walk. Keep track of how long you're walking (if you're walking), and try to shorten the time you walk a little bit each week. Today's swimming tip: When you're doing the crawl stroke in the pool or in a triathlon, your legs are providing stability first and forward motion second. The legs offer very little propulsive force while you're swimming. Here are some pointers for getting the most out of your kick: - Keep your leg action loose and whiplike, especially in the ankles. - The downbeat of your kick is more powerful action than the upbeat. - Point your toes to get more power from your kick. - Don't kick too hard -- instead use your kick as a rudder. - Kick only the minimum amount necessary to maintain body positioning.
