I would love to see what kind of yardage some of you are doing out there. Just ball park numbers. I realize there is much more to swimming than how many yards one does, and training for different events entails differences in yardages, but I would still like to see what everyone is doing so I can know where I fall within the "norm". Also, if anyone knows, I would like to know what some of the masters All American's do as far as yardage. I see times for Jeff Commins in the *** and IM events and wonder how much he must train.
I do about 20-25K yards a week. I was able to get in over 30K during the last few weeks of 2008 due to limited hours on the work front. But, I am a distance swimmer. I am having good results from this amount of training. I hear that there is a guy in Southern California does 80K a week. Apparently sold his car dealership(when he could make a good profit on it) to devote all his time to swimming in his 50s. He must do alot of doubles.
