How do they relate to race times?
I did a broken 200 IM in practice the other day, took a 80 second rest between 50's while swimming and easy 50 free. Swam each 50 as i wold in the race. Fly was long and rythmic. Back was mostly arms breathing as much as possible. *** was all out, free all out.
Went in order:(push starts on all)
27
32
35
26
Any guesses how that might translate to tapered, shaved, race suited, etc...?
in May I did a broken 200 like this
25 + 5 sec rest
50 + 5
50 + 5
50 + 5
25
total time minus 20, gave me a 2:47 SCM. then 3 weeks later I swam a 2:52 LCM. so I think its pretty close to a race time. at least for me 4 months ago.
thursday I did 6 broke 200s the same way on start 4:00. 1-3-5 were *** and 2-4 back and 6 free
the 200's *** I did in 2:40 2:44 and 2:47
the backs I did 2:40 and 2:42
free 2:28
I think I would have done better with a start 5 or 6min, because I can swim a straight 200 free in 2:28. and in Back I am hopping to go under 2:30 in 4 weeks. but the *** stroke ones seem to be close since I am hoping to go just under 2:40
