Simon Shawk on Instagram: “Today I hit 20.7 mph in a 10m fly (The whole workout was 3 flies, my best one was 20.7 mph) It’s not where I want to be, not even close, but I’m definitely okay with it as a starting point because I have just worked back into training. Plus, I have to be very careful to avoid injuries (I am an injury magnet) so it’s better for me to take things slowly These flies are useful for brushing on max speed but cutting it off before you begin to fatigue and break down That makes it a pure speed session, which are what I need the most right now #sprint #speedtraining #sprinttraining #tracktraining #track #trackandfieldtraining”
