If I want to train for a 200y/m Breaststroke...in say 2-3mos.
Can anyone point me to a link for said regime...I will be solo training for this.
I'm 37. 185ish.
I haven't raced in 25years lol. I'm swimming a mile of *** 3x a week circa 40-50mins (I haven't timed it accurately)

That's just what I'm doing, and you certainly have to modify the times and intervals to fit your level. Seeing my actual times will give you an idea of where to start. If you swim in :45, add :10 or more to the interval and so on. Add more time and do them better before sacrificing quality in the swim. I can easily repeat 4 strokes per length, and I know that once I get over 6 I start to get inefficient for a 100 or 200. If you're at 9 or ten, try to hit 8 and hold it without your times slowing. You'll get there.
Also, get in some dryland work and keep to sets of 4's. If you take 4x10 strokes in a 100 br, do 4x15 leg curls and leg extensions. By keeping it multiples of 4 you get it into your mind that you are prepared for that last 25 or 50. Avoid sets of 3 unless your in the 75 *** in the near future.
