• Abstract: Wearable devices produce large, high dimensional training logs for everyday runners, and interpretation rather than data collection is now the limiting step. This paper evaluates five dimensionality reduction models, three autoencoder variants, PCA, and a Variational Autoencoder, on their ability to compress nine sensor runner profiles into a single scalar performance indicator, the latent score. Because the setting is fully unsupervised, model quality is assessed along two complementary axes: reconstruction error (Mean Squared Error) and latent score interpretability, measured via Spearman and Kendall rank correlations, Mutual Information, and Permutation Importance. These are combined into a composite selection criterion that prevents selecting models on reconstruction accuracy alone. Feature rankings from the four metrics are aggregated via a modified Borda count, and their stability is confirmed by bootstrap validation. A two feature linear baseline is included to anchor the comparison. Deep autoencoder achieved the lowest reconstruction error and the highest composite score. Once the PCA hidden layers were widened, the deeper variants became closely competitive with Deep AE on the composite criterion, indicating that the limiting factor was hidden layer capacity rather than the one dimensional bottleneck. Running pace, aerobic decoupling, and average heart rate emerged as the dominant latent score drivers across all models and resampling runs, consistent with established physiology.

We generate synthetic abnormal events to augment the training videos, and task the masked AE model to jointly reconstruct the original frames.
