Hi! I have seen a freestyle pace chart (i.e., a list of various 100 yard/meter goal times, usually in intervals differing by 1 second, that says what times you need to go in your 25s/50s to hit that goal time). Does anyone have one specific to breaststroke?
Apologies if this question has already been asked.
Thanks!

Allen,
I agree 100%...My best 50 and 100 breaststroke times bear this out.
- My first 50 of my best 100 is .99 seconds slower than my best 50 time.
- My second 50 of my best 100 was 4.12 seconds slower than my first 50.
- My best practice 50 sprint set average (SP1) was within .21 seconds of my second 50 split of my best 100
Kinda neat...:)

I have never seen one.I think a general rule is your first 50 for a 100 should be within 1 sec of your best 50,and the second 50 should be about 4 sec slower.This can tell you about what your 25 and 50 workout time should be to be race pace.Lets say your goal time is 1:10.That means your splits should be about 33-37.This also means your best time for a 50 needs to be about a 32.In workout to do race pace you should be keeping your 50s at 37 and your 25s under 18.5(18.0 would be better as you have no turn,)
