The decode

A long warm-up, four 4-minute efforts and five 90-second reps made this a mixed interval session. The longer work came before the shorter repetitions, demanding sustained output before the closing speed.

The 90-second set held at 3:42/km, 3:39/km, 3:44/km and 3:42/km before closing at 3:30/km, with 45-second recoveries. Heart rate rose from 167 to 173, and the set finished fastest rather than fading.

What the engine saw

  • 5 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 91s.

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.
