The decode

This was a power-focused activation built around four 2:00 interval efforts, with 2:00 recoveries and 0:30 steady segments in the sequence.

The efforts moved from 3:36/km to 3:28/km, held at 3:28/km, then finished at 3:29/km despite a slight headwind and tired legs. Heart rate rose from 136 to 168 while the pace held together.

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 120s.

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.
