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?)

  • Almost never.My longest race is 200 M(except when I entered the 400 IM during what was clearly a psychotic episode) and I think race pace work is important so I see little reason to swim over 200M.Once or twice a year I'll swim a 1600 IM just for something different early in the season.Some times I'll do it as swim,pull,kick,swim each stroke.
