I am by no means a fast distance swimmer. I normally train SCY and I am entering the 1500 at a swim meet coming up. Today I swam around 5k and in the middle did the following:
15x100 yards coming in around 1:10. My sendoff was 1:40 (30 seconds recovery).
That felt like a strong but controlled effort. My turns suck.
Anyone want to take a stab at how fast I should shoot for when I swim this 1500?

If you are training for the 1500 you ought to do repeat 500's (or longer) not repeat 100's. If repeat 500's are just too boring, you ought to do them on (based on how you are swimming) 1:20. Maybe do 2 on 1:20 and 1 on 1:15 5 times through.
