I did some doubles last SCY season, about 5 or 6 weeks worth twice a week in Feb - Mar timeframe. Our main team workout is/was in the evening around 4500 yards, and I'd get a couple of more days in, ramping the weekly yardage up to 35K, from the normal 20 - 25K. Knowing I'm not the kid I once was, I did tend to ease up on one of the workouts, focus on technique, turns etc, or get out a little early... just listen to your body. While it did wear me out for a bit, I think it helped in the long run come taper time. I swam USMS Champs and Y-Nats, and despite being pretty slack between the two, I swam faster in all events 2 weeks later at Y-Nats, from the 50 free to the 1000 free. So, the extra training gave some extra speed and endurance. Or maybe I need a 5 week taper. Or maybe margaritas on the beach... I'll probably do something similar this season, but may start in Jan. I might also try some periodization training -- swim a month with some doubles, then a month more normal, another month with some doubles... or maybe two week cycles...
