** Banjo Billy is just that type of fast/easy pattern from my favorite swim coach.
** Threshold effort is an effort you can hold steady for the whole set without a lot of rest between reps, ideally moving towards middle of 1500 race pace. A smidge faster on those 100's and 150's might be 2-5"/rep faster, then learning to recover from that faster effort back at same threshold speed.

** Banjo Billy is just that type of fast/easy pattern from my favorite swim coach.
** Intervals based on someone whose short rest, middle of 1500 race effort would make 1:20 interval. The challenge interval you might just make, then have to recover at threshold interval. Tough!
** Negative split = second half faster than first. Descend 1-3. Good test of pacing. Don't go out too fast on the first one!
