Let me throw another question out there. I understand the term negative split - in a 100 yard swim, the second 50 should be faster than the first 50. BUT, what throws me is how the heck you accomplish that!
When I'm swimming and doing 100's I usually go all out, so by logic my second 50 is going to be slower than my first 50 because I've already expended a bunch of energy. So if I'm supposed to negative split these things, am I only to go 80% or so for the first 50 and then 100% on the second one?
Any input on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
bckirkland,
Practice this in practice. If anything just get the feel of negative split. Even if you have to really slow down the first half. The more you work on it, the better your body and mind will adjust when it is time to try it in a meet. Even if you don't actually negative split a race, you will learn to pick up the end of the race rather than dying.
