The decode

This was a six-repetition hill-strength session: 1km uphill repeats on a 5-6% grade with easy downhill recoveries, progressing from steady to stronger to hard.

The reps ran in 4:34/km, 4:21/km, 4:09/km, 4:29/km, 4:19/km and 3:56/km. Heart rate reached 157 on the final rep, after 133 and 134 on reps four and five; the first five recoveries were 5:07, 5:06, 5:06, 5:11 and 5:06.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Rep paces descend across the set (a cut-down / progression).
  • Recoveries average 259s.

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.
