4 days a week - usually between 2800-3200 yds each workout in 75-80 minutes. Occasionally I'll add a weekend workout.
But I barely exceed 12,000 yds per week.
Need I say? My longest swim this year was about 3000m.
My swims while in Canada about 3000m a week generally.
When I go to Mexico about 14,000m a week. Not including Ocean swims.
My workout this morning was just 2100 yds.
700 yds (various warmup)
2x15 yd sprint, 35 easy
100 free on 4:00 best effort
2 x 50 free on 2:00 best effort
4 x 25 free on 1:00 best effort
(repeat above)
400 yds. various active recovery
Repeat above set but flutter kick
I was toast at the end.
My workout is usually around 2,500 yards. Iswim with a team, so unless I'm tapering, I do what the coach tells me to do. That's 4 days a week, and then I do another 1,000-2,000 of just stroke work. So, I get anywhere from 11,000 to 12,000 a week.
I'm down to only about 5000 yds per week. I keep switching between metric and yard pools, so I can't keep a steady thing. I just aim for at least 2000+ m or 2250+ yds each time.
I really miss doing 25000 yds per week. When I'm doing so little at only 5000 per week, it's getting really really hard to keep good times. Improvement is almost impossible. But then I'm getting old too. :-( My father-in-law tells me "Don't get old."
