The decode

Eight 1km repeats with 60s static recoveries formed a controlled threshold set. The headwind in the last 400m of every rep made the closing section the constraint, while the static recoveries limited the reset between efforts.

The pace slowed from 3:20/km on the opening rep to 3:35/km on the final two, moving outside the intended 3:20-3:25/km range. Heart rate rose from 137 to 148, with the peak of 149 arriving on the third rep rather than at the finish.

What the engine saw

  • 8 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 60s.

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.
