The decode

Four 1.2km treadmill reps formed a cut-down interval session. The treadmill made pace the controlled variable, but the recorded splits did not correspond cleanly with the treadmill display, which reportedly moved from 3:38/km to 3:00/km.

The first three reps clustered at 4:18/km, 4:20/km and 4:17/km before the final rep cut to 4:01/km. Heart rate rose from 157 to 169 across the set, while the 60-second recoveries kept the work continuous.

What the engine saw

  • 4 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Rep paces descend across the set (a cut-down / progression).
  • Recoveries average 60s.
  • Matches the athlete's own session label.

Calibration flags

  • 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.
