Getting under 1:00 for the 100 Yd

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?

    I just broke 1:00 in the 100 free. Big achievement for a non-college swimmer. I focused on SDK, 6 beat kick and pain management. first 25--sprint but leave a little second 25--sprint but leave a little third 25--sprint THIS IS THE RACE! fourth 25--what kind of person are you? Grit your teeth, bury your head and take the pain. Stay disciplined. Keep kicking HARD! Next goal 0:58 Congratulations! That is a great time. Keep up the good work!
