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?
I do 10 seconds @ 50s, but my times have no relationship to my meet times -- sometimes way faster, sometimes slower. I'm primarily looking for race intensity on those broken swims; I can never seem to mimic, though, the race excitement or energy in a workout.
