Freestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Freestyle performance was strong throughout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • First-half freestyle pace was generally 1:35.8\u20131:37.5\/100 m<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • After the long mid-workout rest, you accelerated to 1:30.9\/100 m<\/strong> in Set 7.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The final three sets remained consistent at 1:34.1\u20131:35.4\/100 m<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    That suggests you retained freestyle speed well and benefited noticeably from the longer recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Breaststroke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Breaststroke shows a clearer fatigue pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Sets 1\u20135: approximately 1:51.9\u20131:53.8\/100 m<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Set 6: 1:55.8<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sets 7\u201310: approximately 1:57.2\u20131:59.2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Your breaststroke slowed roughly 6\u20137 seconds per 100 m<\/strong> from the strongest early repeat to the final portion. Because freestyle did not deteriorate similarly, this looks more like stroke-specific muscular fatigue<\/strong> than general aerobic exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The likely fatigue areas are the breaststroke kick, hip drive, and maintaining effective glide timing as the session progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Huntsman Benchmark Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      There were no continuous 800 m or 1,500 m freestyle efforts, or continuous 100 m or 200 m breaststroke race tests, in this mixed-stroke workout. Therefore, none of your official event benchmarks change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Overall Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This was primarily a mixed-stroke threshold and fatigue-resistance session<\/strong>, not an event time trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The strongest findings are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Freestyle pace averaged a very good 1:35.4\/100 m<\/strong> across more than 1,500 m of accumulated swimming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Freestyle speed was preserved through the end of the workout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Breaststroke began near 1:52\/100 m<\/strong>, but faded toward 1:59\/100 m<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The workout therefore exposed a useful training target: maintaining breaststroke mechanics after roughly 700\u2013900 m of accumulated breaststroke<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Your Huntsman benchmarks should remain unchanged because the stroke changes within each 300 prevented a valid continuous race-distance comparison.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
