The decode

Three 20-second hill reps closed a jog. The placement made the short efforts a late-session test of force and mechanics rather than sustained pace.

The reps quickened from 4:06/km to 3:55/km to 3:42/km, while heart rate rose from 146 to 164 and then held at 163. The set finished fastest and held together.

What the engine saw

  • 3 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 51s.

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.
