ourpr_list_runsTraining history between two dates, newest first: date, local start, name, type, miles, pace, time, elevation, average heart rate, and on a runs-only list Friel's efficiency factor and the heartbeats each mile took. Start here for totals, streaks, trends, or finding a run. For one run's splits, use ourpr_get_run with an id from here.ourpr_get_runOne activity in full: mile splits with heart rate, cadence, calories, device. Id comes from ourpr_list_runs. For the profile along the route, use ourpr_run_stream.ourpr_run_streamA run's profile on a 10 m grid — elevation, heart rate, power, cadence — as min, average, max and coverage per channel, not every sample. Also each half by distance with its moving pace, heart rate and efficiency, and the drift between them (aerobic decoupling, Pa:HR). No profile is a normal answer for an indoor run.ourpr_run_lapsThe laps the watch recorded for one run — the runner's own button presses. Laps follow the workout; mile splits follow the mile.ourpr_rep_workoutsInterval sessions found across the history, with reps and distances. Detection is conservative, so a session it misses is still in ourpr_list_runs.ourpr_detect_repsWhether one particular run was an interval session, and its reps.ourpr_similar_terrainStretches of past runs matching a distance and climb — what the runner has already done that resembles a race they are training for.ourpr_training_blocksThe goal race and its Block: race day, distance, goal time, which week of the Block today falls in, and miles for each week. Also the Blocks before past races, each with its result, weeks and peak week. A Block is the race-anchored Monday to Sunday weeks before a race.ourpr_list_racesEvery race ourpr finds in the history, newest first, tune-ups included: date, name, distance, time, pace and run id. Also the fastest result at 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon among them.ourpr_list_plansThe runner's planned runs between two dates: day, name, miles, time, tag, the runner's note, whether a logged run fulfilled it, and whether ourpr create wrote it. Read it before ourpr_plan_week so a new plan does not land on a day that already holds one.ourpr_plan_weekWrite one planned run, or a week of them, onto days still ahead. Each lands on the runner's week as a plan they can see, edit and remove. Needs a token made with the write scope and ourpr create. Never logs a run.
