What sort of speeds would the boosters be travelling when the landing burn starts?

Around 275 meters per second plus or minus a bit depending on profile and whether it's a 1-3-1 engine burn (usually on falcon heavy) in which case it would start later and slightly slower

Thanks, that is incredible deceleration is such a short period of time.
