Start with smaller sets of short distances. If you can do a lap (2 lengths/50 yards) then try 10 laps. Find out your average time and add 10 or 15 seconds for rest. Then repeat and try to keep the same interval. Once you can do that, mix the sets up with 100s, 75s, 200s, etc. You can determine the time needed for those distances using ratios. Try to keep the interval similar and don't over rest.
