Do top swimmers, like Phelps, also do long, continuous swims at times or do they only do interval training?
Does anyone here ever do long, continuous swims?
I basically only do interval training and maybe add longer distances in my workout but I never do a complete workout as a continuous swim. Should one also include continuous swim sessions?

I typically do one continuous swim of 90-120 minutes each week. Sometimes I use fartlek approach, but other times I do planned things like swim the last 200 of each 1000 as fast as possible or make the first 25 of each 100 to be butterfly or backstroke.
I don't think such workouts are very popular around this message board.
