"A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else." ~ George Savile

In a previous article, we talked a little about using intervals in swim training and about how you might begin building your own interval-based swim workouts. Now it's time to go a little deeper.

In this article, we'll define some terms and then talk about how you begin setting and using your own personal Cruise Interval.

Tip of the Day:

Don't burn up a lot of energy before the start. Use the swim to warm up and plan to push on the bike.
