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?

On the basis of a long course workout this summer which included a timed 400 (5:15) and a timed 200 (2:35), I calculated a CSS for lcm of 1:20 which I believe is slightly faster than En2 (consistent with what Maglischo writes). My En2 for scy is 1:15 on the basis of a T-1000, and 1:18 on the basis of a T-3000. So I figure my En2 for scm is around 1:22-1:23, which is the pace I held for the set of 300s.
hmmm we may be talking about two different ways of using CSS though.
Did you use the Excel Spreadsheet I attached previously in an earlier post?
Like I said earlier, I don't care about CSS speed (your 1:20) as much as I care about the ability to predict time over any duration other than the two data input. IOW, you can, using CSS model (my spreadsheet), get prediction over any duration.
