ここのところのMount Faber登頂を分析して選手たちにシェア。

Some of you might already know this, but I cycle up Mount Faber every day. Initially, I couldn't make it up without stopping, but now I can climb it repeatedly and even do it in one go. Recently, I had a realization that I'd like to share with you.

When I climb from the east side, the slope is very steep, and it's quite tough. However, I discovered a little trick that makes it easier. During a particularly difficult 400-meter stretch, I started counting my cadence (the number of pedal strokes). The first time I did this, I noticed that counting helped distract me from the pain and made it feel more manageable. I found that I could get through that tough section with 120 pedal strokes. Knowing this, on subsequent climbs, I would count to 30 and think, "I'm a quarter of the way there," then 40 meant a third, and so on. This morning, I broke it down further into 12-stroke increments: 10% for every 12 strokes, so by 36 strokes, I was 30% done, and by 72, 60% done. Counting the pedal strokes made the process mentally much easier.

Now, even though the west side is less steep, it takes longer, and I find myself preferring the shorter, steeper east side. This experience got me thinking about how this method can be applied to swim training and races. By counting your strokes, you can make the process feel easier and also get a sense of your stroke length and efficiency. If you know in advance how many strokes it takes you to reach the end, you can better anticipate the finish and plan your final sprint.

Give it a try and see how it works for you.
