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.
in 2008 I averaged 12,000m/week. 3 x90 min workouts.
Most in one week was 15,500. that was OW training
during the xmas break I took 2 weeks off from work, and swam with the kids. Swam ~43,200 total in 8 workouts. where my first was only 2200 and the last was only 3200 and a whopping 10,200 somewhere in the middle.
I'll be swimming roughly 12-15000 a week from now until June. then I am hoping to increase my time in the pool/lake. to get closer to 20,000
