I think the most famous distance set (somebody can correct me if I'm wrong...) is Jeff Kostoff doing 4x 5000 on 50 minutes. Plus I think his 4th one was 46+ minutes. He also did sets like 10x400 IM on 4:20 and 3x 1650 on the NCAA cut for that given year. He swam for Stanford in the mid 80s.
So I'd say the 15x100 on 1:00 is better than all of us sitting at our work computers, but nowhere near Hackett and Kostoff from a generation ago.
Don't forget Erik Vendt's 30 x 1000 (10 on 10:45, 10 on 10:30, 10 on 10:15).
