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?

I believe that the concept of interval training began with runners and then was applied to swimming. As for American distance swimming, as Ion posted in another thread we had a great tradition of 1500/1650 champions in the 70's (Goodell, Hackett, and Shaw); they swam 100K or more per week of interval swimming. Not much "LSD" either (unless you consider 100x100 on !:00 long slow distance).
