I've attached a list of goals for improving our aerobic engine or base building fitness over the winter for you. This I find helps keep us in touch with short term swim "process" goals over the winter, instead of focusing on a "goal" months away.

"Winter swim miles equal summer smiles"

Reasons for base aerobic training over the winter months

  • Lung capacity and breathing frequency

  • Stroke volume of heart increases

  • Cardiac output increases

  • Heart size increases

  • Plasma volume expands

  • Blood flow distribution (shunting)

  • Heart rate decreases (average)

  • Inspiratory muscle oxygen cost reduced

  • Systolic blood pressure reduced

  • Capillary density increased

  • Fuel use (favours fat metabolism)

  • Mitochondrial size and number

  • Muscle fibre type shifts to type 1

  • Increase in muscle fibre cross sectional area.

  • Plasma free fatty acid use increases as duration increases

Kind regards

Nick
