There's a swim meet coming up in one and a half month's time, and i am planning to take on the 200m freestyle.
Can anyone help me specific on what drills and sets should i be focusing on?
And by the way i am training with weights too, following this program by jason lezak

I am on the speed training phrase now though.
I am also doing the 3-3-3 drill swimspire recommended me and some finger drag catch up, but hope for some sets and other drills
I will treat this as if it is a big meet. Quit weights a month in advance. Do broken 200s with various rest intervals, you will find one you like and one that is really tough. They both may be the same. Make sure someone is watching your stroke technique, you don't want to make any big changes. Get a lot of rest out of the pool. Don't overtrain and don't worry about low yardage workouts. Tapers are very nerve wracking for those who don't understand them and/or have never been given a good one.
Before the race get a good warm up, finishing with a couple of hard build 50 or 100s. Feel the speed within 20 minutes of your race.
