The decode

This was a 4 × 2km repeat set ahead of a half-marathon simulation, with reps one and three assigned half-marathon pace and reps two and four intended faster. The recoveries were 60s static rests.

The pattern matched the prescription: 3:44/km, 3:40/km, 3:46/km and 3:40/km, with heart rate rising from 178 to 184. The third rep dipped, but the set closed at the pace of the second rep.

What the engine saw

  • 4 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 60s.

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.
