Has anyone heard of saving their kick for the second half of the two hundred to draw lactic acid towards the leg muscles? I recall reading somewhere that this would allow the arms to remain relatively free of acid build up so they don't tighten up so much on the final laps.
In sprint races, the fifty and hundred are over before you know it. The two hundred however has always posed a challenge because if you go out too fast, there's a price to pay towards the 150 mark. I am working on getting the first hundred paced fast but easy, and then saving some steam for the last seventy five. (Almost like an attempt to even split the 200.)
Any thoughts on race pace strategies would be appreciated.

Thirty years ago in college the mantra was "go out hard and die like a man". I am not sure it worked very well for me then, and
I'm sure it doesn't work for me now.....but everyone is different.
