The decode

A six-rep interval set on asphalt alternated 3-minute and 2-minute efforts. The alternating durations demanded pace control, while the asphalt and 35 C added environmental load.

The pace softened late: the final 3-minute rep was 4:29/km against 4:23/km initially, and the final 2-minute rep was 4:19/km against 4:12/km. Heart rate climbed across both rep types, reaching 179 on the final 3-minute effort and 178 on the final 2-minute effort.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 214s.

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.
