  • I'm aiming for a good 1500 LCM in July. I find that 50s and 100s don't provide the mental discipline I need. I like to keep my repeats in the 200-500 range. Today's key set: 8 x 300 on an interval that gave me about 10 seconds rest. There was a good discussion in past year on how to train for 500s. As I recall, the basic unit was around 125 yd, with short rest. I'll try to find it in next day or so and post a link (deadlines now). Do you have a goal pace for the 8 x 300, or a specific way of splitting them?
