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?
Threshold - twice a week 35-40 min set - go for best average, no big descending - if you do nothing else, do those 2 sets.
En1 - as much as possible as long as you are fresh for the 2 threshold sets.
I think this is good advice and I agree on the descending part. If you are able to swim much faster at the end odds are you aren't putting in enough effort up front. You should be struggling just to hang on.
