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?
I would have thought you must really have been hurting, but you were able to speed up for your final 100, so hard to say. Perhaps you just need to work on your pacing more. Twelve seconds between your fastest and slowest 100s is huge. Somewhere around five seconds is probably ideal.
I'll know in just over a week if I can manage that (the five seconds). that would be going out in 1:10 then holding 1:15's since I want to go under 10:00. actually just found out one of the 16yr old girls on our team split 9:52 in her 1500 so I would really like to go under 9:52....
