Why we programme this
Identical rounds strip pacing bare. The task is simple to describe and brutal to execute well: find a sustainable output and reproduce it, round after round, when your body is begging you to slow down. Whoever slows down least wins a hybrid race, and this format trains exactly that. It also blends modalities the way racing does, so the engine and the muscles learn to hand off cleanly.
