5 × 1km Threshold Assessment

A snapshot of where your running stands today and where consistent, targeted training can take you.
Key metrics from the complete session
Explore every moment of the run
Clean start. You settled into rhythm without forcing the pace — exactly the right approach.
Drag chart · Tap to mark · Long press to lock · Double tap to reset
You maintained a narrow pacing range. The fourth repetition marked the clearest fatigue point, but you recovered strongly and closed the session well.
"The goal isn't perfection. It's learning how to execute consistently."
You held a tight pacing range across all five repetitions, showing disciplined effort regulation.
Your cadence was remarkably stable throughout — a strong indicator of efficient running mechanics.
VDOT 37.9 sits in the developing category. Targeted aerobic work will raise this meaningfully.
The fourth repetition showed the clearest signs of fatigue. Building this quality will unlock faster times.
You settled quickly without forcing the pace. Heart rate climbed gradually and cadence locked in early.
Back-to-back 5:23 kilometres. Identical pacing without a GPS watch target — a natural feel for effort.
Heart rate rose gradually whilst cadence stayed remarkably stable. Effort increasing, mechanics holding.
Pace slipped to 5:33. The body signalled its limits — but cadence barely changed. That's not failure. That's data.
You came back. 5:28 on the fifth rep after the hardest effort. A positive response under fatigue.
"The strongest signal from this session wasn't speed. It was control. Your cadence remained stable, your pacing stayed within a tight range, and you recovered after the hardest section. That gives us a strong platform to build from."
These are realistic outcomes if training becomes more targeted and consistent.
What consistent, targeted training actually does over 8 weeks
Consistent, targeted training doesn't just improve fitness faster. It provides direction, builds confidence, and helps you make the most of the work you're already doing.
You don't need to overhaul your training.
The foundations are already there.
Consistent, purposeful training focused on the right areas will help you run faster, recover better, and feel stronger during everyday running and HYROX training.
The goal is not to work harder.
It's to become capable of more at the same effort.
