How do you train for the one hour postal?
Currently I swim about 2100 - 2200yds 4 -days a week - 3 days coached w/ age group kids
1 day same yardage but not coached.
I'm thinking about staying late during my coached days and swim an extra 500 -1000 yds after practice. My thinking is this extra yardage is about what I can do to be able to get home and get dinner on the table. Then increase my 1 day not coached to about 3000 yds and do more distance swims. My personal goal is to do any where from 4200 - 4500 in the postal.

I am debating if I should give it a go this year and would truly appreciate some feedback...
I do not swim freestyle-am I crazy for attempting to swim this all *** stroke?
I usually swim 250- 1000y sets of BR and on average 3000y per workout, so I'm thinking that with 2-4 brief gatorade stops I can make it through 1 hour.
Speed would obviously not be my goal, just making it to the end without giving up would be fine by me.....
