The decode

A threshold cut-down was structured as three descending sets. The sequence demanded pace control under incomplete recovery, with the shorter efforts arriving before the legs had fully reset. Its purpose was consistency as the repetitions shortened.

The main work reps slowed from 3:37/km to 3:55/km, with heart rate peaking at 184 on the third work rep after 177 on the first. The 400 m efforts stayed between 3:36/km and 3:48/km, but the longer repetitions faded after the second set.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 105s.

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.
