I am trying this out now for 200 free and 400 IM. I do 12x50 @55, trying to hold 31,5. I've managed 10 reps at the most so far. For IM I train each stroke separately. I haven't raced since I started this, but it gets easier in practice each week. All my training is SCM, btw.
I have been doing this before for the 1500, 15x100 @1.25, trying to hold all reps sub 1.10, but then just occasionally and just the last six seven weeks before meets.
