The decode

Ten 400m reps with 60s floats formed a speed-endurance set. The active recoveries kept the work continuous and made repeatability the constraint rather than isolated speed.

Pace stayed between 3:22/km and 3:32/km through the first nine reps, then fell to 3:42/km on rep 10. Heart rate reached 176 by rep 9 and the session maximum was 190, with the late slowdown showing that the floats did not fully preserve the final rep.

What the engine saw

  • 11 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 60s.
  • Matches the athlete's own session label.

Calibration flags

  • Running power threshold estimated from the athlete's half-marathon best efforts (60-min power 476 W, 95% of 20-min power 460 W). Treat power zones and load as ±3%.
  • Zones and running threshold are one snapshot, read 2 Jul 2026 and applied to every session in the archive. An older session is scored against today's zones, not the zones the athlete trained with then.

The rep pace re-expressed for flat ground and cool air, the effort, not the clock. Adjustments are modest on this one; on a hot day or a hilly route this is where the real work hides.
