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?)
Right now I do a 3K, 4K, or 5K non-stop about 2-3 times per week (all freestyle) which is pretty funny considering that when I swam age group, I moaned at anything over 200.
I am learning that it is much easier to do those non-stoppers in LC pools. 25 yards is hardly enough to get any momentum going before I have to stop and turn. This is also funny because in my youth I HATED LC season.
Make it an outdoor LC pool or a lake, and my only limit is the time I have available to swim.
On the other days, I mix up strokes with shorter distances - usually nothing over a 500.
