Any discussion about adding a new category to your online workouts? Great article in the March-April 2019 Swimmer edition about the success of USPRT. As the writer Jim Thornton wrote: "Perhaps it's time to look into yet another protocol. Masters-USPRT." Perhaps it's time to add it to your online workout section!!!!!

I have forgotten what CSS pace is, but if I look at your all-out 100m time (1:36) and your CSS pace time (1:58) that is a difference of 22 seconds. I don't swim the 1500 very often, but the last time I did so (three years ago) I averaged 1:28 per 100 and my all-out 100m time was 1:03. That is a difference of 25 seconds. My 1500 time and my 100 time were both Top Ten that year. So that does not sound like the difference in your times is too large.
The difference between that all out and the CSS in my club is generally only about 15 seconds. The guys in the next faster lane have all out 100 m time similar to me but their CSS are much faster, under 1:50 / 100 m.
Our club only trains on long distance swimming as we are a triathlon club and most swimmers here are targeting 70.3s.
Also, I can only plan for 1, at most 2 years. Thinking anything more than that is too scary for me. I will see if I can make my ambitious target this or next year, if I can I then continue training, if not I am no longer willing to sacrifice my life and my entrepreneurial plan for that.
