1st 1000 free. Need advice.

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?

  • You said it. Pain management. Looking forward to it. Actually, you said it when you began this thread: "Will breakfast reverse on me?" To me, racing the 800/1000 and 1500/1650 distances is really more about nausea management than about pain management. Pain management is for 200s and the 400/500. (The 100 back and the 50 back are just pain, no management involved.) If you breathe every stroke and swim steady for 600 and then try to speed up, you will have a fine time. Good luck!
