depending on the skill level, you have a max value and min value for repetitions
and since pool size is fixed you can factor the distances, as you said in the beginning
so you have 1,2,3 1,2,3,4 and 1,2,3,4,5 * pool size * skill level factor

so you choose one from the 1st pattern and check if you are past the intended total distance,
 then another pattern, etc... until you complete the total distance

 you can add a conditional and filter patterns that are longer than the remaining distance

 also, simulate input and output, then figure the algorithm
 It's easier to envision the program that way
 like tests from bonfire

 How would you incorporate a pattern like this? (3x100, 2x100, 1x100) as compared to simply (300,200,100)?

 an array with [3,2,1] and then using map to return a factorized array.

 You can also do curve fitting, like... if you have minimum and maximum, and 5 steps,
 like (1, x, x, x, 5) you can calculate the closest whole numbers that make a linear increase between those

 like using the map function. newArr = oldArr.map(function(item) { return item*100});
 oldArr is your input array, and newArr is your output array with the factorized items
 the other function is just rounding. To fill the previous array, you have 1 and 5, so diference is 4 and it has to be filled in 3 spaces
 hmm no, it should be an integer
 nah, it's ok...
 Math.round(4/3) = 1
 so you add steps of 1
