I was looking at Go The Distance and there are people who have swum 50-60 miles in the first 11 days of the year. I'm curious what they are doing.

Absolutely right. We give it 120%!
8,000 daily is a lot of yardage for someone only swimming the 50-100-200 free. Has he always trained like that?
I think so. I remember Gaines doing a 500 out of the blue in college and knocking out a 4:18. If you look at the USMS records, he did a 4:07 400 LCM and an 8:38 800 LCM as a 35-39.
