200 Breaststroke time

depends on many things how well conditioned you are if you are a sprinter or a middle distance swimmer how close the 100 time is to your true potential how your 200 race goes, turns splitting ... the bench mark how many seconds you have to add when you double you 100 time double 100 time & add _____ seconds 06 - 10 : Distance swimmers 10 - 14 : Typical 100 swimmers 14 - 20 : sprinters, bad splitters, & poorly conditioned swimmers 1:05 + 1:05 + 19 = 2:29.6 now find out. Wow. I'm very close to creating a new category. "Lazy, poorly conditioned drop dead sprinter."

Wow. I'm very close to creating a new category. "Lazy, poorly conditioned drop dead sprinter." Sorry, already created 100 Free - 51.44 200 Free - 2:03.56 :angel:

Thanks Allen. I'm the same on 200's I can't swim them at race pace but I do sometimes do a set of 6 x 200 where I work the turns and go long off the wall and very ez between (one of Wayne's sets). The other one is swimming 50 builds starting say at 12 x 50 on 1:00 3 mod, 1 fast working down to 9 x 50 1:05 2 mod , 1 fast, then 6 then 4 all fast. I also sometimes do 200 FR but do BR turns and pullouts.

Wow. I'm very close to creating a new category. "Lazy, poorly conditioned drop dead sprinter." You say poorly conditioned, I say selectively able...And I don't appreciate the lazy part, I just choose not to train for anything over 100...Not lazy again just selective in my training.

OK to keep the thread going. I did my 200 at Zones thusly: 37.90 1:19.05 (41.15) 2:02.92 (43.87) 2:45.47 (42.55) OK did the 100 today... :36.x and :41.x for a 1:17.71--started too slow you think? No!!You had a 5 sec difference,I think you should shoot for a 4 sec difference.

Since this is the 200 *** thread. Here are my splits from my LCM 200 *** this weekend: 40.32 45.72(1:26.04) 45.61 47.33(1:32.94) Total time-2:58.98

But you broke 3 min and that seems great,good swim.

But you broke 3 min and that seems great,good swim. I think that I might have dropped off on the last 50 because the two other guys in my heat were 25 meters behind me. But, I have to work on keeping the last 50 even with the middle two. I can't complain about breaking 3:00 since I am not a breaststroker. I just swim the breaststroke to help out my 400IM.

I did my 200 at Zones thusly: 37.90 1:19.05 (41.15) 2:02.92 (43.87) 2:45.47 (42.55) That is right on with your 100 splits, which really means you should be going faster in that 100, or your meant to be a 200 swimmer. OK did the 100 today... :36.x and :41.x for a 1:17.71--started too slow you think? You can see some of the 200 BR on Jim Thornton's log forums.usms.org/blog.php it's in the comments!
