If my times on a set of 100s on 1:30 is 1:18 consistently, what should I expect to actually swim in a 1650? My best time thus far is a 21:56. Thanks!

  • I agree with Ande. Without knowing how hard you're pushing your 100 repeats it's difficult to know. You should probably be able to hold a faster pace in a race, but hard to say how much. If I had to guess I think you could hold a 1:15-1:18 pace in a race, so that means 20:37-21:27. 21:27 actually. 78*16.5 = 1287 seconds = 21.45 minutes = 21:27. Hey, I was close! :blush: I said I did the math, I didn't guarantee it was right (I forgot to convert the .45 minutes to seconds). :bolt:
