Swimming my first 1000 free Sunday. How should this be paced based on the 500? If I average 1:14's for the 500, can I hold this or will breakfeast reverse on me?
For the long races I start by establishing a breathing rate that I can maintain throughout (how hard I breathe and how often).
Very good point. Breathe A LOT throughout the race.
I watched a NCAA 500 and a guy was 6 beat kicking off the wall for 12.5yds then two beat. Interesting.
I saw something like that, too. I've recently gotten to the point where I can kick stronger throughout a 400M/500yards, but I still think I'll 2 beat for the first 600 to 700 and then add in a stronger kick through the finish.
