One of my swimmers needs a plan to train for a 5-mile swim in Lake Erie next July. He swims two miles a couple times per week, continuous swim, but, is there a plan out there that could help him this winter and not get burned out by the time July comes around?
Thanks,

Plan for 7.5 mile Mouth of the Potomac River crossing.
Need some help from the distance crowd on this....
January - March
4 days of swimming per week (Masters work plus a long day)
Day one --3000 yards of interval work (free)
Day two --3000 yards of IM
Day three -- 3000 yards of interval work (free)
Day four --Distance (wrap your head around it boy!) at least 4500 yards of long distance work (4 x 1000 on 15 minutes or so?)
March -May
Add another day and the distance day goes up to 6000 yards or an open water swim.
Is this enough? Need some help here!!!!
