    Hello There,

    Just a question around the assumption of the my swim pace during the workout. I’m still getting my technique right around swimming. I can see that the swim day assumed that I swim 200m in 2:55 for example. Is this something I can change or I should not worry about the time and focus on the distance and heart rate zone?

    Thanks

    Have you established your swim pace zones yet? If not, you need to. Read here:

    Intensity Guidelines for 80/20 Triathlon

    Pace is the recommended swim metric. Once you’ve established your zones with a CV test (I prefer the 1000 yard test) then your workouts are distance based at appropriate zone pacing.
