what is the optimal differential between the first and second 50 on a 100 yard short course freestyle? The first 50 benefits from the dive and the relative freshness of the swimmer; the second 50 requires two turns and contending with lactate and fatigue.
Is it better to go all out and try to hold on, or save a little for the end?
Say you can swim an all-out 50 by itself at 25 seconds. How would you ideally swim the 100?
Example: 25.5 then 28.5 for 3 second differential and a 54.0
or 26.0 and 28 for a 2 second differential and a 54.
Which method do you think is best?
SS: where'd you get the splits from? I forgot to write mine down :cry:
Fort: Dying like a dog huh? Yep, I'm still having that problem. We'll see if I can keep the splits within a second or 2 at Zones. Shooting for 30,32 at Zones and I have been trying to train 100s that way.
