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 have been breathing every third in training so that it now feels more natural than every other, and my stroke is more symmetric with better rotation. But perhaps that pattern contributed to an oxygen debt.
how often do you swim a 1500 or 1650 in training?
try a breathing pattern of 2x right - 2x left.... a small difference (2 breaths per 5 strokes compared to 2 breaths per 6 strokes) but might do the trick.
