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...?
I think you can meet your goal of a 2:05. Your butterfly seems strong so I wonder if you don't have the potential to go a bit better than 2:05 assuming you work on your last 100. I would think if you can get your 200 Free down to 1:50 you can probably be around 2:03 or 2:04 next May.
I rarely do broken swims and usually only do them to see where I am at. My meet time will generally be around 4 seconds slower than my broken swim with 10 seconds rest between 50s. When I am way out from a meet (like now) I might do a broken 200 with 15 to 20 seconds rest and get similar results to when I am tapering and take 10 seconds rest.
Good luck with your training,
Tim
