I posted about 6 weeks ago asking for workout advice on how to lower my time in the 100 free. I am now down to a 1:02. I have been focusing on my kicking, my technique and most of my workouts are at race pace. I would like some workout advice on how to strengthen my last 25. I notice a considerable drop off in strength and my technique tends to fall apart in that last lap. Anyone have thoughts or advice?

Swim where you build to an absolute spring on the last 25. Say maybe something like this?
6x100 Free on 3:00 - 50 Pace/25 Build/25 AFAP - first 50 goal is to hold about a :35 or so then build to sprint pace as you hit that last turn.
Everyone should feel like they're falling apart on the last lap, it's OK to feel that way but the true goal is to still keep your stroke technique tight and don't give in to the burning pain from your muscles as they try to get you to stop what you're doing. The goal is to slow down as little as possible at the end.
