I am starting to build my long swims from about two miles today, targeting a 10K swim in October. At about what rate would you all suggest I increase the distance of my long swims? Thanks.
The weekly long swim is the most important part of the training regimen (IMHO) and the 10% rule is golden. Any time I find myself making a jump of more than 10% in a long swim things start to fall apart... so if you're doing 5000 continuous swim pretty well this week, don't jump to 6000 next week; 5500 is your limit.
