Building up mileage?

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..... Hoosier, you got a great daughter there. I love her workouts and she's very responsive to questions. Warning to others though: You can't just post a thread in the workout sections; that is for the coaches only. But you can remark on one of her posts, so I suggest that. Good luck to Mallory on that 88K OW swim this weekend. Can't think about driving that far...
