200 Challenge: Goal time, roadmap and status updates
Former Member
This thread is for people to post their goals for the 200 (in any stroke), outline how they plan to get there, progress updates and to get feed back on their plans and updates.
Yikes, Allen. Using your method I would have to hold 58.5s for 100 Frees. Not sure I'm up for that. Guess, I'm going to find out in a little over a week when we change pools for practices.
So I assume your goal time is about 1:53.To do that you are going to have to be able to go at least under 1:00 in workouts( you can have some fudge factor if you are one of those who drops a lot when you taper,or own a Jaked.On the other hand if you plan to swim the second 100 closer to the first,as is common for freestylers,you may want to be faster.).Remember I said do enough rest to meet the goal time.A good rule of thuimb is about 1:2 swim:rest or in this case about 100s on the 3 min would be a good place to start.
