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?

    Do we need codes? I prefer to keep it simple. I suggest you pick the time you want to swim, a 100, 200, 1500, for the 100 if you want to swim it in 1 min, that means 15 sec per 25 then start swimming it in 15 sec with a rest of 15 sec then reduce rest peiods, So on 200s could be done the same way using 25s or 50s, 1500s you can use 25s, 50s, or 100s.
