The decode

A 15-rep interval set demanded repeated high-speed efforts with only 44-45 second recoveries. The short recoveries made pace control the central demand.

The set started at 3:25/km and reached 3:13/km before slowing late to 3:48/km. Heart rate rose from 168 on the first rep to 177 on the last, so the finish came under sustained cardiovascular load despite the pace loss.

What the engine saw

  • 15 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 45s.
  • 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. The gap between actual and true effort is the day's hidden work: conditions were taxing the clock.
