D Men & Women Unite
you're a sick bunch
The longer the better
your sprints are 200's, 400's, 500's, 800's, & 1000's
You barely get going on 1,500's & 1,650's
You love 2Ks, 3K's, 5K's, 10K's, & some of you love 25K's.
Talk to each other, I have no clue what you do over there.
What did you do in practice today?

Interesting discussion on fartlek or episodic sprinting during open-water training.
It took me a long time (a few years) of lake swimming to realize that I shouldn't be just swimming at cruise pace the whole time. So I started modeling my lake swims after distance running workouts -- some easy, some tempo, some intervals. I know nothing about recommended open-water training approaches, so I'd love to hear what other people do.
My intervals are usually something like N strokes fast, then N or 2N strokes slow. N is 10 to 100.
