Free Speed is coach Paul Eaglestone's breakthrough training method that combines

efficient swimming technique with a pace-setting formula to achieve faster

triathlons. The idea behind Paul's

innovative training system is loosely based on ultra short-race pace training,

but with fewer sets, and maintaining effort levels rather than working at

constant maximum effort. By measuring efficiency through stroke count against

time-specific goals and with Paul's swimming technique-including better muscle

performance-the triathlete is able to preserve energy for the cycling and

running legs of the triathlon without sacrificing pace in the water.

In the book, Paul

explains how to train and practice using the best swim technique and how to

improve pace over short distances using his 17/20 method before progressing to

race distance, as well as every other aspect of triathlon swimming-basic

equipment, race planning, open water swimming, starts and turns, and more. His

method brings a cycling mentality to swimming through hydrodynamics, attention

to detail, and marginal gains through mental training. The readers are also

given the tools to design their own training sessions based on their own

specific goals and targets, and always with an eye on getting the most out of

each session.
