The decode

A five-rep threshold set with five-minute jog recoveries was designed to expose a sustained effort and its heart-rate response. Equal work and recovery durations kept the session controlled, while the threshold demand accumulated across the set.

The first four reps held between 3:36/km and 3:38/km as heart rate rose from 172 to 176, then the fifth slowed to 3:42/km at 173. The pace held together through four reps before fading on the final effort.

What the engine saw

  • 5 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 359s.

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.
