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.
Ande has a pretty accurate rule of thumb for the 200: double your fastest 100 and add 10 seconds.
That's very useful. If you combine that with Chris Stevenson's rule: "A typical way to split a 200 is: N-2/N/N/N", then given your best time in the 100, you can figure out what your 200 splits should be. (If H is 1/2 your fastest 100 time, the 200 splits ought to be H+1/H+3/H+3/H+3.)
OT, but is there a comparable rule for the 500?
