I've been swimming masters now for well over a decade and I've hit a bit of a lull. Last year I set my Go The Distance goal at 550 miles and missed it, so this year I revised it downward to 500 miles and as of today I'm 66 miles behind the pace I need to be at to hit that goal. I just don't have the desire to get to the pool as often, or stay in as long, as I usually do.
With that introduction my question really is: how do YOU train long term? Do you try to stay consistent or do you vary from year to year? Historically I've been very consistent, but I wonder if intentionally varying things is a better long term strategy.

i think you have to vary or else you will get ground down.
so what if you dont make 550 or 500 miles...who cares? mileage proves nothing.
it has to be fun or it becomes a job. EWWWWW!
no thanks. ever!
and by vary i dont mean get hurt and need surgery....oh that is a big NO NO!!!
