The decode

Five one-minute hard reps with one-minute easy recoveries made up the speed block. A three-minute recovery separated that work from the 30-minute steady-state block, giving the session two distinct demands: fast running under incomplete recovery and sustained aerobic control.

The rep pace moved only from 3:18/km to 3:24/km, while HR moved from 140 to 144. The 30-minute steady block ran at 3:59/km at HR 142, while the following 12:00 and 4:47 segments both recorded HR 157.

What the engine saw

  • 5 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.
