I just registered and I am extraordinarily nervous :eek:
I have done a couple 4500-5000 yd workouts in the past week but need to ramp up the distance
AIEEEEEEEE!
Does anyone have some favorite long pool workouts? I know there is the workout section of the forum but am curious if anyone has any workouts that they love :D
Anyone else going ?

I'd agree that you need more distance but that doesn't necessarily mean doing 10k+ sessions or straight swims. Elite 10k swimmers certainly don't all do crazy yardage on a regular basis. If you swim regularly enough with variety, then the challenge of completing 10k is less a matter of being able to swim for a few hours but one of rehydration, fuelling etc.
