The way I see it, in chap12, all that Maglischo is trying to do is to inform you about the sort of volumes that other serious coaches seem to embrace.
For the benefit of those who don't yet own the book:
80-85k / w for distance swimmers
60-70k / w for mid
40-50k / w for sprinters
Yeah, I remember that part of the book. It's the part with no evidence. I think a "serious" coach just means a coach who doesn't think for himself. By the way, Lezak did 15km/week when he split 46.0 in 2008.
