200m are going to be done around current mile pace. 2 minute recovery is minimum (Ill take more if the times slow down).

Yes, according to Daniels. Main thing is what event you are training for? Assuming its the mile/1500m? If its 5k-10k you might want to do them around 3k pace and then cut the rest to 1min...still very manageable. The idea with "reps" is to build running economy and to gain the neuromuscular coordination of running at race pace velocity.
If you did that workout at say closer to 800m race pace then you'd be messing more with the anaerobic system and lactic acid tolerance...although technically those could still be considered "reps."
Then again, you do them at 3k race pace and then the next week you adapt and instead to 10-12 by 400m at 3k race pace with a 1:30 recovery and you are doing "reps" because it is not all that difficult and does not specifically target the V02max (aka Daniels "Intervals"). Hope that helps.
