The decode

Six 1km reps, with the odd-numbered reps harder, formed an alternating interval set. The pattern demanded repeated changes of intensity under wind and 33 C heat, making pace control part of the session rather than a by-product of it.

The harder reps ran 3:31, 3:27 and 3:34/km; the others were 3:44, 3:46 and 3:43/km. Heart rate reached 170, 175 and 179 on the harder reps, while the set stayed controlled through the final 3:43/km rep at 176.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 92s.

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.
