Pace guide for Marathon schedul

Hi, myself and a couple of friends are following the RW 3:15 Marathon Schedule and completed the 16 x 200m efforts yesterday as part of week 6.

I've got my Runners World (via subscription) for weeks 5-8 and there is a target pace guide for 400m, 800m, mile etc, but not one for 200m.

Anyone know what times we should have done yesterday? I supppose it's a little academic now as it's in the past.

    As long as you ran quite hard and kept the reps fairly even around the same pace then they were the right pace!
    The pace of 200m reps is so dependent on basic speed rather than marathon potential that a guideline could have been misleading.
    I guess somewhere between 37 and 42 is sufficiently quick.
