I swam my 3000 postal swim this morning and had quite a bit of time to think, probably much more than most, and I was wondering how many yards most masters swim in a workout? From what I read here most workouts are interval types, I do intervals but of longer duration than many ( 500,1000,1500 ) I am more sea turtle than shark. I am sure this has been discussed to death here, just to lazy ( like I said, sea turtle ) to look it up. Thanks.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I just checked out that first link that Skip sent. Well, it started out as a poll about yardage but morphed into some really bizarro thread. At least a comment that someone made on another thread a while back about 'he whose name must not be mentioned' makes more sense now.
I voted for the 3000-3500 yardage. That seems to be about what my team typically does in an hour, although it can go up over 4200 at the 75 min distance practices. On my own, I'm really bad. Rarely more than 1500 yds and lots of drills and flutter or dolphin kicking (the things that I feel just too slow to practice when people are watching.)
