The decode

This was a six-rep interval set within a 19.49 km run. The 10,937 m lead-in and 3,382 m cooldown kept the fast work embedded in substantial aerobic volume.

The 90-second reps varied from 4:00/km to 4:17/km and 4:03/km before the 60-second reps tightened to 3:54/km and 3:57/km, then eased to 4:05/km. Heart rate rose from 138 to 149 before settling at 144, so the set remained controlled despite the late softening.

What the engine saw

  • 6 work intervals detected from lap markers, confirmed by clear pace separation.
  • Recoveries average 140s.

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.
