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?

    The minimal duration of a Threshold segment is 10min. It is very hard to imagine being able to stay at this intensity for more than 40min. Remember that it is your 1500 race pace. I thought that race pace (even for a 1500) was faster than threshold; isn't threshold (En2) derived from a T-3000?
