HALL OF FAME COACH JON URBANCHEK STOPS BY TO WATCH FAST TURN COLORS THIS FALL
Brian Brown
Last week Coach Jon Urbanchek dropped by Independence Park to see his "colors" training system in action. Based upon a 3,000 for time test set, Coach Jon's method uses each swimmer's threshold pace (the fastest speed they can hold continuously without going into lactic acid overload) to determine training intensities and paces for all race distances.
Luckily FAST National Development team members (as well as some hardy guests from the Senior Development group) were ready. Coincidentally, they had just done their first 3,000 test of the 2021-2022 season earlier in the week!
The colors set went well with everyone following Coach Jon's famous dictum -- "Move it!" -- and we all look forward to seeing him once a week this fall.
