If you were to do a broken 200 freestyle swim (scy) as 4 x 50 on (X) interval in a practice setting and add the total time for each of the four 50s, what interval would give you the best approximation of your 200 race time? The interval would depend on your speed, so perhaps I'm asking how much rest you should have between each 50. I recently did 4x50 on 0:45 and went 29, 30, 31, 30. I'm wondering how close I'll be to 2:00 in a race.
I've always struggled with these. I don't think I could take only five seconds rest and go as fast as a meet time. For me I'd need more like ten seconds rest between 50s.
Was your first 50 from a dive or push? I suspect if it was from a push you've got a good shot at 2:00 if those times were to your feet. If to your hand I'd say you'll have a hard time breaking 2:00, but you should be under 2:05 for sure.
