Unlocking Speed: Mastering the PDLC Method for Triathlon Swimming with Joe Friel

[@Cachoeira1986]

24:50 "no more intervalls! You work on your technique." Thank you, that's what I needed now, improving my catch day over day and doing just that.

Gold dust! So simple. So sensible. So motivating. I can’t wait to get back in the water tomorrow. I’m just going to do what Joe says. Thank you so much.

This is beautiful, painstakingly honest, and grueling. Sounds amazing!

This interview was so good and it is a complete picture of my athletic performance. At 58, sleeping has been the hardest thing for me. I can’t sleep at all and consequently I struggle with my weight. I’m going incorporate this PDLC into my mantra. Thank so much for this information.

Super! Best training video I've seen in a long time.

When you put it in the order of PDLC it makes so much more sense. The core fundamentals become so much more comprehensible. It’s about the order of things and being grounded it them.

Thank you! Words of wisdom that all (age group) triathletes shout take to heart. What works well for junior pool swimmers, does not likely work for (age group) triathletes. Focus indeed on improving the key techniques that have the biggest impact on the results (80/20) and keep things as simple as possible (KISS) rather than trying to be perfect. I will continue following your content and improving.

Great conversation, thanks to both of you. Learned a lot

[@Honu-up3ou]

Thanks for this video. Everything I've been learning from your videos has helped me tremendously.

Thank you! Some things to work on my next swim...

[@garyweiss1876]

Very interesting. Thanks for providing this perspective in your interview.

[@sujstet]

yes you are right about the fingers closed that happens usually in kids and adults who cup their hands or do not open their hands instead of keeping a gap... its better to have a paddle so better to have no gap later they realise that a slight gap is better

[@andreizelchenko934]

Thanks👍 Very good and informative video even for non triathlon swimmers.

[@thepatternforms859]

For the record it’s fingers open not closed. It’s more surface area, and also keeps hand and arm relaxed. Fingers open is faster

[@cindyscott8470]

Catch simplified! Love it!

[@danevo1886]

Interesting starting the catch as soon as fingers enter water.. so no glide forward for open water right? Explains the high stroke rates have been trying to translate pool speed to open water. Would you swim this way even for a calm dear flat lake ?

This guy is 79 yo, but looks 59. Keeping your VO2 Max at your highest level really does work to increase your health span!

When talking about z5 on the bike, is it 120% of ftp

[@thepatternforms859]

When these guys refer to pace do they mean a swimmers fastest sprint 100? Or the speed for a 2.4 mile iron man? When he says “if your a 2 min swimmer” what does he mean? A swimmer who’s fastest sprint 100m is 2 mins? Or a swimmer who swims an iron man with a 2min pace?

[@mikealexander7017]

They're talking about average pace per 100m over longer distances, like Ironman or half ironman.

Ok, but what about another interview that claims you can't do a shrug and a pull up at the same time, as in over rotating dimensions your pull power....

[@drewa1999]

Also, many of your videos state to lead with the elbow but this guy claims to lead with your hand... So much inconsistency, or is that consistent inconsistency!?
