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?

Peter Tanham has a good book out ostensibly on swimming the rottnest channel.
It isn't much of a book, a lot of filler material. However ti has a 10 week progression of workouts that he used to get ready for the swim.
I use them often.
Marcia cleveland has a few main sets on her website.
They would be found here (www.doversolo.com/opnwtrtrng.htm) she has some open water and pool workouts on that page.
