The decode

Six 800-900m reps formed an interval set with 1:30 recoveries. The fixed work duration and short recoveries made repeatability more important than a single fast repetition.

The pace sharpened to 3:43/km by rep three, then fell to 4:02/km before settling at 3:57/km and 3:58/km. Heart rate reached 160 on the final rep, the highest reading of the set, while the slower closing pace showed that the set had not held its early speed.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 133s.

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. Adjustments are modest on this one; on a hot day or a hilly route this is where the real work hides.
