Jeff, you are right on about this. I did some broken 200s, 10 seconds/50 during my taper, averaging 38s. Go figure...
Those broken swims are excellent ways to practice race pace. Ideally, if you're getting only 10 seconds rest per 100, you should be within two seconds of your in-season 200, and 1 second of your 100. More rest will get your time closer to your goal.
Good luck with the 200 ***.
Well, I'm here to tell you I negative split my 100 *** in my first meet in 20 years back in Feb.:o
Let's just say I was a little slow, and leave it at that...:dunno: :dunno:
4 secs drop is optimal. I had a negative split though... lol must mean I'm super hahaha
Seriously I think it's lack of 200 practices...my knee's been bothering me and stuff so I've limited the full stroke time I've been doing.
I used to come as close to negative splitting a 100 LCM *** when I was a teenager. It made my coach and mom very worried.
My first 50 and second 50 in long course were never more than two seconds apart.
I can't do that now.
The idea differential in the 100 should be three seconds in short course, four in long course (because of a lack of a turn at the 75).
