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.
lefty,
different people drop different amounts during taper
no easy rule of thumb
I've seen guys swim close to best times in practice, then not drop much in meets, i've seen others swim slow in practice then drop all kinds of time. I tend to be in the upper middle.
Dave Salo posted this set somewhere or another. If you want to go under 1:50 in the 200 then you need to go 1:52 in season. 54.0 / 57.9 is how I would split it (not recommending this, just how I would do it). This means to do the 75's in just under 40.5.
