mytraining is Nick's take on keeping a Swimming Log – one of the real keys to sporting success.

Nick Gillingham’s Olympic success was planned over many years and programme planning was written in a log book to ensure the analytical stage of review and progression can take place.

Every season (macro cycle) was broken down into a specific pattern of weeks (micro cycle) with each day having specific tasks with written performance goals.

To define the log book theory the below captures the essence...

A performance measurement framework geared to the

production of required evidence to articulate the necessary

arguments for improvement so that all activities (stress factors)

contribute to a wide performance in order to achieve personal

success, at the same time, demonstrate the ability to measure

and benchmark against other developed programmes.

“The above process allowed me to personally share written information to develop myself and the team resulting in greater team success and ever developing your team of individuals”.
