BREAST SET: 650 + 150
Whatever stroke you choose on this set, the idea is to do a controlled descend, taking it down to your actual race pace on the final 75. E.g., my target race pace for 100 breast is 1:16 (19 seconds per 25), so I want the Tempo Trainer at :19 on the final 75. On the first 6 X 75, pick one or two technique points to focus on, execute them really well, and try to keep executing them well as you go faster and faster.

#3: TT @ :24
#4: TT @ :23
#5: TT @ :22
#6: TT @ :21
#7: TT @ :20 (from the blocks) just barely made it
#8: TT @ :19 (from the blocks) didn’t quite make it -- off by about 2 seconds
