Hello, I have a competition in 3 weeks, and I like to hear your advices. It is first time for 5 km, but I have 3 km races every year at 38'19'' with fin. I don't use snokel nor wearing suit, and I have to recover my breath several times during race while backstroking. 1. Any advice on breathing recovery not backstroking? 2. Workout for 5 km? I usually do 100 intervals on 1'15. 3. Race strategy? Any advice to win a competitor who has the same racing best time? I appreciate your help on this and I hope this race the best.
