The decode

A 3 × 2 km interval set was completed as six recorded 1 km laps. The paired efforts demanded continuity across each block rather than six separate short efforts.

The work blocks slowed from 3:39/km to 3:50/km to 3:59/km as average heart rate rose from 157 to 179 to 183. The individual reps faded from 3:34/km to 4:06/km, with heart rate reaching 187 on the final rep, so the set did not hold together.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 82s.

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.
