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.

  • FYI, on the workout sections of this web page is now a section for marathon open water swimming workouts posted by Mallory Mead. I would offer a suggestion that you post your questions on her workout page, I am sure she would be very helpful and have some good suggestions for you. If not, let me know and I will get after her.... I am her father..... Thanks; I peek in on those workouts every now and again... even trying to incorporate some of her kick series drills; I'm not good about that kind of stuff... I just like to jump in and swim, but I'm getting to the point where I need to work on my skills in a more deliberate way to make any more improvement.
