I believe that our program is pretty typical--18-20K/week, a mix of En1, En2, and En3, main set averaging 1200-1500 yards, descending to race pace with occasional timed swims.
That's a bit less than our program, but pretty typical, I think. Is that in an hour? Our main sets tend to be more like 2000-3000 in Chris's Zone 3, with a drill, sprint, or kick supplemental set after, but we have 1.5 or 2 hours. (Because I go a lot, that ends up being ~25k a week; then again I have no childhood base, so I think it does me good.)
I am pretty impressed at the people who can get close to even in-season times in practice. For my 50, in-season is about 1.5s off my rested time and my practice time is about 2s off that. For the 100 it is probably more like 4s and 3s.
