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?

Ideally the intervals and sets should be based on the results of a T-1000, 2000 or 3000 swim, which we can do on our own or with a coach on deck. There's no reason why the workouts can't be written with this in mind and thus be applicable to everyone. The T-1000 (or 2000 or 3000) gives you your anaerobic threshold which can then be used to construct the sets. Mo uses cruise intervals which basically accomplish the same thing. I'm not a coach but I read a lot.
