i know it depends on what distance you intend to compete at but is there a max and min distance for practicle long term training?
can you over/under do it?

5000 in the morning and 5000 at night sounds like a lot.I've been doing 3000,3times per week since i first read your replies and i must say at first it was quite a lot compared to my usual 1500-2000,3 times per week however i find that i'm now(a couple of weeks later)easily able to complete these distances,i usually do 10 sets of 250m+250warmup and 250 warmdown my rests vary between 250m sets 20-50secs,my strokes are about 65% breastroke and35% freestyle .
