Mathematically, how do you work out 'three quarter pace"?
Let's say (for the sake of easy calculations) your best time for an event is 1 minute. In practice, you want to go three quarter pace. So a 100% effort will result in a time of 60 seconds. A 75% effort should result in a longer time. My rudimentary maths tells me I should divide 100 by 75 and multiply the result by 60. That works out to 80 seconds, which is a minute and 20 seconds. Why does that sound much slower than what I would normally envisage three quarter pace to be? Or is my maths completely messed up?

The coach at University of Toronto used to use the term 3/4 Pace. What he wanted was a relaxed almost 100% speed.
Do you really think it means to swim 75 yards in the time you swim 100??? I don.t think fluid dynamics even comes into this.
