The decode

A kilometre-rep set with a descending finish extended the work beyond the main repeats, making the session a progressive speed-endurance effort rather than a clean repeat set.

The four 1km reps slowed from 3:34/km to 3:47/km, while the final 600m held 3:42/km. Heart rate rose from 165 to 176 across the main work and reached 181 during the later cooldowns.

What the engine saw

  • 5 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 72s.
  • Matches the athlete's own session label.

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.
