Thinking about doing a broken 200 back in practice tomorrow just to see where I am. In my age-group days, we used to do these and break 10 seconds at the 50. The time we would get (after subtracting the 10 second rest breaks) was surprisingly close to what we would do in a meet.
I'm wondering if I should change the amount of rest between each 50 since I am older now. Will I still get an accurate picture with 10 seconds rest or should I go with 15?

Our masters coach often had us do broken 200 (mostly free) with 10s rest. Sometimes he'd mix it up a bit and do 15, 10, 5 through the 200.
I'd expect the 10s to still work for you, we had swimmers aged 25 through 65 doing this.
