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!
Allison
Good thread
So Allen to get my 34.8 50 to a ultimate 100 time I'd have to go say :35.5 to :36 and then :40 for a 1:16. I'm not too far off at 1:19 Maybe I have to gut out the first 50 a bit more...
Stud, I've found this to be true. I started studying splits of the fast guys' 100s, and invariably they take them out within a second or so of their best 50. I started trying going out harder, and dropped my 100 time significantly. At an SCM meet where I went a 35.5 50, I split my 100 37.11/41.15. So I needed to go out even a little stronger. And yes, it hurts.
If you want a real eye-opener, take a look at how the Top 5 split a 200. The first 50 is way too close for comfort to all out, and they somehow hang on from there. I haven't screwed up the necessary courage to try that yet.
