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?

If I am not mistaken (though I might be) the workouts posted here are done on a voluntary basis - so we should be thankful for that alone. If someone has an issue with the interval then they should ask some questions/advice, not expect Mike, Emmet, Nate or whoever to address every possible scenario.
I think that the point was that the intervals for some of the sets are too fast or not appropriate for everyone; if the goal for the set is stated (basic endurance, threshold endurance, etc.), then the intervals can be adjusted based on an individual's anaerobic threshold (calculated from a T1000 or T2000 sswim).
