I am preparing for stage 1 of the 8 bridges swim in the Hudson River. It is 18.3 miles. I have been doing 4,000 yards 5 days a week, then, adding a long swim on the weekends. I plan on adding yardage to that long swim each week. My question is, what should be my yardage/mile goal for the last long swim before the race? Would it make sense to swim 2 a days? I live in Pittsburgh, Pa, so, open water swims is not an option until May...any suggestions for preparation would be welcome. Thank you. Judy
Michelle, which 10k are you doing? And yes, your peak should be around 8500-9000, then do a 2-3 week taper that works for you. Good luck!
Thanks! I'm doing Kingdom Swim in Newport VT. I've been hearing wonderful things about it and it sounds like a lot of fun.
