The decode

A 3km marathon-pace segment followed by five 1km threshold reps was a progressive mixed set. The 200m floats kept the work continuous rather than fully resetting it, while the headwind raised the cost of holding threshold effort.

The reps held together from 3:47/km on the third to 3:38/km on the last, with 3:40/km repeated twice. Heart rate rose from 165 on the opening rep to 181 on the second, then stayed at 179-180 through the remaining work.

What the engine saw

  • 5 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 57s.

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.
