    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? I remember the 500 thread. There was some good info that can be applied to training for the 1650/1500. I have a goal in mind depending on where I am in my training and how I feel. I had wanted to hold 3:36/1:12 on the 3:50 (SCY). That wasn't happening yesterday. I averaged ~3:40/1:13.3. I seem to do better with either descending very slightly into the set or holding a goal time. I'm not too good at big descending sets.
