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.

If I calculated his time correctly, he swam a pace of approximately 1 min and 22 seconds for 24 hours straight. Ouch, I can only imagine what the effects of swimming for 24 hours straight would be, but to do it at a pace of 1:20 per 100 yards. 1:20 doesn't sound that fast, but after just 4 or 5 hours of continuous swimming I can't imagine my arms still working much less swimming a 1:20 pace.
