Yardage

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.

Mar 2005 - Sep 2008 Sep 2008 - now I tend to focus on swimming FAST in practice. I did total up yards on this workout because the total was unusually high for me 6k andesswimmingblog.blogspot.com/.../happy-new-year.html My ______ workouts tend to be between _____ to _____ non taper: 4,000 to over 5,000, speed training: 3,000 - 4,500 taper: 1,500 - 3,000 usually 6 times a week probably do over 25,000 each week
