Training for the 1500/1650: Suggestions?

So I have decided to focus on the 1500/1650, partly because I seem to have misplaced the three fast twitch fibers I once owned, and partly because guys named Smith are now swimming the 500 and even the 1000. Geek suggested that I build my endurance with dryland work, but unlike him I have a job and limited time to train, and I don't really want to give up pool time. Any suggestions?

    I think you are only seeing 100s. When I swam in the marathon races I did not only do 100s. The 100s were only one part of training as I said, do them once or twice a week. I did the 100s twice a week. Never did 200s or 400s but lots of 1, 2, and 3 hour swims. sometimes twice a day. 100s were easy to hold at race pace.
