10 more laps makes it 5km.
From there 4 and 5 miles are a breeze to reach. Just need the lane time.
My longest is still only 10km (220 laps)
I have to push myself one Saturday to 8 miles then 10. Just competing against myself.0 -

Much work to be done in the next six weeks before the World Masters Games. May need a miracle or a magic wand!1 -

I am a fan of less cruddy and wow, sounds like you have a goal. I have no doubt you will do well at the Games.
@fishgutzy - For me it is a matter of how much time I want to spend in the pool. At this point, if I want to do more yardage, I will have to get faster. But that perspective of 5km being only 10 more laps...something to ponder. I used to be a distance swimmer, and have done a lot of milestones distance wise. For me now it is about, as you said, competing against myself. What can I accomplish in an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes?
As for cramps, normally I don't get them, or if I do I can simply swim through them, but Thursday was different for some reason. I see people with water bottles at the end of their lanes so now I know what is in them.
Thanks for the tip, @fishgutzy and @juliet3455!

Oh blargh... I've been sick for a week and haven't had my weekly run or swims. Not enough lap lanes tonight for a swim (don't feel up to circling with 5 or 6), so I'll grab a trail run with my daughter. Back to the pool tomorrow. Give it up, Winter!!!1

Just found this and rather liked some of the articles on it. Have not read everything, but if you like tips could prove helpful.1 -
You lost me at burpees lol

Wow, that is shame. I hope you get getter soon.
I am swimming seven days a week now, twice on Thursdays. My next goal is a 29 second 50 (SCY) and a 59 second 100. I dropped three seconds off both my 50 kick and 100 free last week (compared to a couple of months ago). Would like to do that again this week, LOL.
This morning I had to split a lane with someone so I just worked on technique and did active recovery. 750 active calories in 90 minutes (I did not try to count my laps). Tomorrow morning we fill up the pool with a Swim Athletics class: I always look forward to that on "Aerobic Wednesday" and "Fast Friday".0 -
@dwisehart - 8 workouts a week? Amazing commitment and obviously you are getting some great results. Good luck on hitting your time goals!1

@dwisehart "Swim Athletics class". Sounds like & your drills look like my Adult Swim Club.1

90 minutes pretty much continuous. Working on effortless, low breath with hips and feet staying high and streamlined, "closing the book" when the head comes back at the same time as the lead arm starts to pull, all part of early breath and relaxed one-arm swimming while breathing away from the stroking arm.
Some strong swim and strong surf kick followed by active recovery with a snorkel and underwater recovery or easy, flowy, surf kick. 580 active calories.1 -
4000 yards @ 75 minutes0

Swam a second time, as this is Thursday. Reswam the Swim Athletics workout this evening with people who cannot make the morning class. Same 2000 yards as above, but in 40 minutes this time. 575 active calories.
Put me over 1800 active calories today. If only every day were like this...
