hm, so if you've been training all hard for a month w/ very little rest, then you have a meet, you are less likely to improve, am i right?
You're probably better off having a very easy week before the meet like I just did. Think more "stretchy and technique" keep a little pace work in there but not too much, I bettered my entry times by a good few seconds. The resting obviously makes all the difference.
