Looking for help on estimating a time. If my 100yard breaststroke time is 1:09.4, what would you predict for a 200yard breaststroke time?
I know it depends if I'm more sprint or distance oriented, a range is fine, but I'd say I'm in the middle of the road in terms of endurnce.
Rich,plan on something to focus on in that 3rd 50.I like to focus on my pull the 3rd 50 and my kick the 4th.If I don't have a focus I tend to slow the 3rd 50 also.
I almost never do regular 200 BRs in practice as I can't swim them race pace and I don't want to teach my body to swim slowly.I do mostly 100s at 200 pace.I do swim 200s dolphin kick/BR pull for endurance.I like to swim them either go out at 200 pace and try to hold it as long as possible or negative split.When I was younger and dumber I'd occasionally swim 200 BR in practice where I sprint the 1st 50 all out and then just try to hold the stroke together.The idea was to know that if I went out too hard I could still do OK.
