TL;DR

This was an easy, well-controlled run that was 47% longer than your 7-day average, while running 2% slower with heart rate 2% higher. On flat terrain, your 6:01/km average was close to the estimated 5:59/km GAP, with a strong negative split.

How it unfolded

You went out conservatively at 6:31/km, then quickly found a stronger rhythm near 5:29/km through the first 1.4 km. The effort softened around 1.9-2.8 km, but you regained pace from 3.3-4.3 km and finished with a negative split; heart rate drifted upward late, likely amplified by 21°C heat and 83% humidity rather than terrain, since the route was essentially flat.

Wins

Covered 5.63 km at 6:01/km on nearly flat terrain, closely matching the estimated 5:59/km GAP.
Finished stronger than you started: after an early 6:31/km opening, you settled into the 5:20s-6:00s/km range and produced a negative split despite humid conditions.

Watch Outs

Heart rate drifted 6% from the first half to the second, reaching 157 bpm around 4.7 km; keep an eye on hydration, heat, and whether easy pace stays conversational.
This was a 47% distance increase over your 7-day average after only two runs in 14 days, so monitor calves, shins, knees, and Achilles for soreness over the next 48 hours.

Next Run

4.0 km recovery run at very easy conversational effort, preferably on flat terrain - absorb today's longer outing and rebuild consistency without adding intensity.

🐐 Goggins thoughts

You added distance and finished stronger, so take the respect—but do not confuse one controlled run with having arrived. Your recent volume is still thin, and comfort is waiting to make you inconsistent; build the habit, callus the mind, and stay hard.
