Introduction to Base Training Night with Alexey Molchanov (by Michelle)

On 4 December, the Singapore Molchanovs Community gathered at our home base at CCAB Swimming Complex. The program for the night was an explanation of the base training concept by the man himself, Alexey Molchanov, followed by some breathing gymnastics, then a chance to earn a Molchanovs Benchmark Workout badge.

The workout for the night was 500m DNF 25/25 under-overs (500m of 25m underwater and 25m recovery in as little time as possible). Requiring good DNF technique, decent CO2 tolerance and power, the workout was not an easy one! Everyone made a fantastic effort, and badges of all levels were given out to some our very own Zenners, showcasing the effort that they have put into training over the past few months.

The night ended with an announcement of the upcoming Molo Games in April in Bali (stay tuned for more info!), and a scrumptious dinner at Mr Prata.
