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?
Thanks for the suggestions! I decided to not do the broken 200 today because like pwb said, I can never mimic race conditions in practice. Wish I was like Fort who can find a way to push herself on her own, but I'm too lazy.
If I had a competitor next to me or somebody that has irritated me lately, I might be able to pull off a good race effort in practice. Guess I'm just no good without my adrenalin surge.
I think I might incorporate several of these suggestions into my workouts this fall. Broken 200s just seem like such a good way to train for the 200.
