People who are already over 100 and 200 miles for the year?!

Hi! I joined the USMS FLOG (love the acronym...) at the end of January. I am excited about the prizes for various milestones! However, I noticed some people are already at 100 or 200 miles for the year. Holy moly! I thought I swam a lot! Are any of these people reading? Why such high yardage? How do you structure your week? Singles, doubles? Intrigued. Allison

  • Wow! More power to ya!! I just couldn't see myself doing that, especially in a solo setting. I'm sure I could complete it, but it would hurt on my intervals. And I honestly doubt my age group coach would ever assign us anything like that either. It'll be a total torture fest, but I'm not doing all the 200s free; my sets will be 5 x 200 free, 5 x 200 back, 5 x 200 ***, 5 x 200 back, 5 x 200 free. The intervals will be 3:30 for free, 4:00 for back and 4:15 for ***. Which is pretty short rest (:15-:25) when I'm swimming LT pace.
