Just a thought/request:
At some point in the future, it would be nice to have workouts posted by someone who specializes in LONG distance coaching with an eye on open water distances (1 mile "death sprints" to ??? miles). The workouts provided are generally excellent, but since open water distances basically start where pool distances leave off, it would be great to have something a bit more specific. This is especially true since there is a relatively small body of printed work on longer distance/open water training and coaches for LONG distances seem few and far between.
Would anyone else be interested and would this be possible?

Well, Eliane a lot of the workouts don't fit the middle aged and senior groups. I even swam years ago as a kid and lost a great deal of my speed. I can't do the other three strokes at 1:50 intervals since my fastest times are at 1:38 or 1:39 now in them and to do lower 1:40's I need more rest at least at a 2:30 interval. I just get ideas from the workouts and apply them to myself. Like you I swim on my own since its gives me more flexabilty.
