Rob,
Use your If statement as a pure function and Map it onto the list. This is
the kind of thing that pure functions are great for. As a little extra, I
also counted the number of elements less than 100 and greater than 100. The
list is already in order so just use Split to break it into two lists, one
with all the 50's and the other with all the 200's. Then Map Length onto the
new array to get the count.
ii = Table[z, {z, 50, 1400, 5}];
jj = If[# < 100, 50, 200] & /@ ii;
Length /@ Split[jj]
{10, 261}
