I am moving somewhere where I won't be able to swim much for two years. Anyway, I made it my goal to swim 15,000 meters straight in four hours. I was only able to swim 14,000 meters, but it was a great experience. I actually had time to finish another thousand, but my body died on me. I should also say that I have not been training like I usually do, so this was a lot of swimming. It was a great accomplishment and I can now go without swimming for awhile. My question is, what is the most you have ever done in a workout or in a day and what has it meant to you?
In my case, this was the most I had ever done in a workout. Most in a day was 25,000 that was stretched over the entire day. The meaning of my 14,000 meters was that I was able to have the mental and physical ability to handle doing this many meters by myself.
When your body fails in a long hard work out,
it's called bonking.
you bonked.
When I was in high school training for paul bergen, there were many days where we trained over 15,000.
I don't know if I ever went over 20,000 so probably my max is between 15 and 20.
Some Saturdays we used to first run 10 miles then go do a work out.
how far in 24 hours
Mathmatically there's 86,400 seconds in a day
24 x 60 x 60 = 86,400
Many people can easily swim 200 yards in 3:00
3:00 = 180 seconds
so if a person continually swam 200's on 3:00 intervals for 24 hours non stop they could swim 48,000 yards in a 24 hours
86,400 / 180 = 480
480 x 100 = 48,000
54,000 yards on 2:40 pace
I read about Erik Vendt doing
30 x 1000 on 10:30 or 11:00
Now I sometimes go over 5,000
