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?
100 Free is generally 52.5 to 54.0
50 Free is generally 24.0 to 24.3
Age 40 (not sure why this is relevant to breathing pattern)
Training, 5 days/week, 18K-20K. Used to do 3 masters workouts and 2 solo workouts, typical masters type sets. Recently modified solo workouts to be a mix of all out sprints and recovery.
