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.
My masters team practices four days a week, but I usually only go to three of them. We tend to swim anywhere from 3,000-3,800 yards per workout, so about 10,000 yards a week would be a pretty good average for me.
That said, I also do plenty of cross training. I usually lift weights once or twice a week, and run or bike once or twice a week as well.
So even if I'm not doing mega yardage, I'm still working out about six days a week.
