The decode

A mixed 200m–1km–400m interval set paired speed at the shorter race distance with controlled work at the longer one, demanding clean changes of gear rather than one continuous intensity.

The 1km block moved from 3:26/km through 3:32/km to 3:34/km, keeping the latter two reps inside the stated 3:30-3:35 range. The 400m finish held 1:21, 1:21 and 1:22 as HR rose from 144 to 147, so the speed work stayed together.

What the engine saw

  • 3 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 102s.

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.
