The decode

A threshold session with tempo, fast/float repetitions, and a closing threshold block. The one-minute floats interrupted the sustained work without making the middle section fully continuous, while the headwind in the last five minutes added resistance to the closing effort.

The fast minutes moved between 3:19/km and 3:36/km, with the final rep slowest. Heart rate rose from 168 on the first rep to 177 on the fifth, then reached 180 during the closing 10-minute threshold block.

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.
