I have three OW swims in late May/early June. Two are long distance (2.4 and 3.1 miles). I have been doing one day a week of distance work as prep. I have some difficulty in creating a good distance workout for myself that isn't boring (4 X 1000 isn't very fun). Given I have time for about 4500-5000 in our practice time, I was wondering if anyone has any good distance workouts to suggest? You can always PM me with your ideas if that suits you better.
I realize there is an OW section on the forum but figure more people view this section.
Thanks, Jayhawk! (and others who have posted ideas). I'm going to analyze these sets and try out some version.
I do wonder how to get the mag? Paid dues in early Feb., no mag yet. Thanks.
