AP4: THE DATA

The Treadmill Factory

Arc Project Engineering Dept. built a custom made device system to track every treadmill in the factory second by second. Here we have broken down that data. Race results: horsepower.arcproject.com

02Hour by Hour

The fastest single hour was the 16:00 live-DJ peak; the slowest, the 03:00 Full Fracture.

05The Finale

Over the last hour the whole field accelerated to the fastest sustained pace of the day — emptying the tank into the 09:55 climax.

Final hour — fastest sustained pace of the day, 4:52/km

06The Whole Field

Every treadmill, every hour. The warm band of the small hours sweeps across everyone; the final-hour surge lights the field cool blue.
