Hey everyone,
I am freestyle sprinter and recently I've been trying to improve my 100 free time which I've done (dropped about 5 seconds) but I need help with one issue in particular.
When I swim the 100 I like to swim all out from the start instead of pacing myself at the beginning then trying to turn it on near the end. I find myself starting to drag halfway through the 75 so by the time I'm on the last 25 I am extremely exhausted. I still get good times though!
My question and perhaps there are some sprinters here that can help me with this is..
are there any workouts that can help with maintaining the last half of a 100 freestyle?
I really need to build endurance for this. Also, perhaps my breathing is messed up? I prefer to breath no more than two times the first 25, no more than 3 times the 2nd 25 and I use the 3rd 25 as the length to get whatever needed air I need so I can keep my head down the last 25 as much as possible and bring it home.
Any suggestions would be a great help!

You want to improve to improve your 100 free time
What are your 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 & 200 free times?
how old are you?
height weight
do you train with a coach & time or by yourself
how many times a week do you train?
how far per practice?
are you lifting weights?
do you have any videos of you swimming?
How's your flutter kick with a board?
What are your times for 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, & 200 kick?
Got any videos of you swimming, please provide youtube links.
When you swim the 100, you go all out from the start instead of pacing yourself and you get real tired near the end of your race
what is your best 100 & how did you split it?
what was your time at the 50? what was your 2nd 50?
whats the difference between the 2?
BTW everybody gets tired, everybody hurts when they sprint a 100, it might help you to correctly split your 100
are there any workouts that can help with maintaining the last half of a 100 freestyle?
there's plenty but you really didn't provide enough info about you to really figure out what might be best for you
I really need to build endurance for this.
you need speed endurance
Your breathing is messed up
breathing no more than two times on your first 25, &
no more than 3 times the 2nd 25 might be a mistake
it really depends on your times
I suggest you pick a pattern like every 4
you need air when you race, but I don't know your times, so give us more info and we'll give you more suggestions.
Ande
