Working on pure speed is much easier. An example is 10-15 50's on 2:00 in groups of 5. Number 1, do a breakout and 6 all out strokes. Number 2, the same with 7 strokes. and progress so that number 5 is 10 strokes. Then repeat 2 more times. This really stimulates the nervous system and there is lots of technique to work on like keeping your face totally relaxed during numerous all out efforts.
Fun set. I like to take things the other direction as well: start with a lot of strokes and decrease the number with each repeat, to maintain speed with increasing fatigue. Or do a pyramid.
