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 won't! I swam 350 miles last year and although I have plenty of athletic faults I do not think that "lazy" is one of them. I cross-train a lot to manage chronic injuries and prevent new ones, but on 350 miles of swimming last year plus a bunch of spinning and Pilates I managed to swim my best in 25 years.
I did the same exact mileage and cross training! And, like you, swam my best last year, too. Must be working for us :)
