Abstract: We prove that if a set is `large' in the sense of ErdH{o}s, then it approximates arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in a strong quantitative sense. More specifically, expressing the error in the approximation in terms of the gap length $Delta$ of the progression, we improve a previous result of $o(Delta)$ to $O(Delt{a}^{a}lpha)$ for any $alphain(0,1)$.
