Ultra Marathon Swimmer Andy Donaldson has been one of our most popular guests on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast
In honour of his almost complete Ocean's 7 swims in one calendar year (he has just finished number 6) we re-visit this episode with Andy, where he explains how he tackles unforeseen challenges in the ocean head-on and reigns victorious!
We uncover the intricacies of Andy's training strategy for ultra marathon swimming. You'll be intrigued to hear about how he and his coach skilfully plan for his races, ensuring he is primed for success. Andy's approach to training emphasises quality and threshold sessions, allowing him to mirror his race day performance and clock near record times. His joy upon reaching the finish line and the importance of a strong support system is paramount to his success.
Finally, we dive into the Australian Triple Crown of open water swimming, with Andy giving a firsthand account of the three demanding races that form this elite swimming accomplishment.
Trust me, this is one episode you won't want to miss! And if you have already listened to it, it's worth another listen.
