I just ticked over a 1000km of swimming in the last 365 days...
With three major swims to prepare for between the end of Samoa and the English Channel this figure will quickly turn into about 1500km.
This should give me about 2500-2700km for the 24 months preparation leading into my swim.
A lot of swimmers do far less than this to prepare for EC swim. It all comes down to what type of swimmer you are. Because I am not a speed swimmer (nor do i enjoy the high intensity swimming) i need to get the high level of fitness required by just doing the miles. We will all get to the same fitness point at the end, we just do it in different ways.
