The decode

Four 1km reps made up a cut-down interval set. It demanded changing pace rather than uniform repetition, with the uneven middle rep making the final acceleration the key execution point.

The reps ran at 4:36/km, 4:22/km, 4:29/km and 4:13/km, while heart rate rose from 139 to 188. The progression was interrupted by the third rep but closed with the fastest split and highest rep heart rate.

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 415s.

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.
