Swim Set 1500m prediction

Trying to get an idea of what I can swim a 1500 LCM in based off workouts

-Recently did 10x100 on 1:20 coming in 1:15 SCY Honest effort not hammering it

-Also did 6x200 on 2:50 SCY doing 2:35 for the first 4 then building to 2:30 for the last 2 again just an honest effort.

Any ideas

Thanks

21:00-22:00 depending on how hard those 200's were for you.

22:00 if they felt like suicide and your arms were dead.
21:00 if you got out shrugged your shoulders and thought hmm that was fun.

Based on your 10x100 set - I'll put you at 20:15 to 20:30. Those 1:15's translate to 1:25's LCM, which if yo average 1:25's puts you at 21:15 right there. Drop 3-4s per 100 for being in a race situation rather than training, and there's your 20:low...

Thats possible. I took the position that the 10x100 was closer to V02 max type work and not sustainable. If it was 30x100 maybe.

-Never raced in the pool and trying to get an idea of what workouts indicate for pool times for comparing

The 10x100 was not a V02max effort more like slightly above threshold. Going to add some more 100s to set as the month goes on.

I think that is a little ambitious. Maybe in SCM but I am seeing a 21:00-21:15 in long course.

key is that he was getting 5 secs rest, that aint vo2 max work. its definitely sustainable.

I'll split the difference and bid 20:45.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
