[PODCAST] What It Takes To Be Successful In Marathon Swimming with Phil Rush
Спорт
In this episode, I am chatting with Phil Rush, who has the fastest double and triple crossing of the English Channel. In this episode, we chat about a number of things including how can you get better at adapting to the cold, the type of training that you need to be doing if you are looking to do a marathon swimming, what are the important factors when you are thinking of the training that you are doing. Is it the distance that you are doing? Is it the speed? Feeding? What are some aspects of the training? If you are into open water swimming, cold water swimming, or looking to increase the distance that you are doing, then this a podcast for you.

Thank you for this talk, i dont find much content with Sir Rush, so thanks ! I do have a question, what kind of greaze to hé uses for his Swimmers I did used a wetsuit this winter cause i was learning to swim. As a rookie, 5.6K water 8.8°C(2h30), 2K 6.9°(1h), 7.5K 11°C (3h16). I had no knoledge about nutrition, so i didnt feed This fall i ll do my best to start adaptation an nutrition as far as i can go I train,swim alone, i ll get a Friend in this Journey if i can as a safety/feeding crew
The mental part seems huge
Not sure I agree with the body-fat issue of below 15%, especially for 15-17 degrees which is not overly cold. I have noticed very little difference being lean as to being higher body-fat (circa 17%). The one thing I do notice is being lower body-fat improves fitness/endurance which subsequently allows greater exertion for longer which is the best way to keep warm, in my opinion. I'm sure for very cold water like a North Channel swim (12-15 degrees) not being too lean is probably beneficial, despite there being no strong medical evidence of body-fat making much difference.

No strong medical evidence of body fat being insulating? I really disagree
