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 don't think I'm doing to bad,
Last week I swam 3000m in 45 mins. I did it in set of 500's resting about 10 secs more or less just to move the lane disk. ( I used as my counter)
Today I did a 500 w-up, then a 500, 100 kick, 400, 100k, 300, 100k, 200, 100k, 100, 100k
resting about 20-30 sec between each. Then did a 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 pull.
with about 20-30 sec rest between. It took just a little over an hour, didn't really see what time I started. I swam med, pace on purpose, just wanted to concentrate on distance not speed.
I figure I should reach my goal of 4200yds. hopefully more.
For the one hour swim does anyone do a warm up first - or do you just get in and start swimming?
