How often do you swim long distance non-stop, say 1500m or more? How often is good? I try to plan for myself :)
(Also, when doing that, do you swim only freestyle or sometimes change to different strokes?)
I used to do an hour swim once per week. I got over that.
I'm going to do a few 1,500's before nats mostly since I have never raced in a long course pool. I just want to get used to the flow of the race.
I really like to swim an hour or more all free without stopping; it can almost be trance-like. The problem is that it doesn't help you improve your speed, stroke, or conditioning much. I'd call it more a mind exercise. :2cents:
