Looking for recommendations on a breathing pattern for the 100 Free scy. Two ideas I had were... The first 50 will be faster than the second 50, would it make sense to breath more on the second 50 - the thought being, a breath at a faster speed will have more of a detrimental effect than a breath at a slower speed due to higher drag. Alternatively, it's easier to restrict breathing early on in the race so would it make sense to breath more as the race progresses?
Depends
What's your time for 100 FR?
What is your age?
How do you train?
The 100 is a sprint
You don't need to breathe as much as you think you do
Breathe when you need to breathe
BUT practice swimming fast with your lungs FULL of air
Take big breaths & hold your air
If you really want to swim faster There's more important stuff to do and think about than breathing
