Hey all. I'm progressing quickly through Marianne Brems's The Fit Swimmer: 120 Workouts. The thing is, her workouts top out at around 3700y. Now, there are instructions in there for how to create your own, but I do best with a structured program.
What good books are out there with good regimens at 4K-6Ky workouts? Ideally I'll be looking to hit around 5K, since that seems to be a fairly standard length for most serious swimmers. If it has some dryland/weights in there as well, all the better :). But the workouts are what I'm mostly interested in.
Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really do do better with a good book that offers advice and structure, and that I don't have to print out to take with me to the pool ;)
So, any others?

These guys are routinely knocking out this volume. You'll get a lot of creativity here and they are each prolific bloggers and swimmers. You'll never get bored.
I use Janet Evans Total Swimming as my swim book - She has workouts that start at 600yds (in what she calls the "fitness" category of workout but her workouts go up to 5000yards in each of 4 other categories (Base, Speed, Anaerobic Threshold, and IM/Stroke). I guess it'd be easy to add another 1000 yards by adding a set, but just working through the 3000-5000 yarders would take a while
I totally recommend this book!
