Wins

Set 8 personal records, including your best 10K, and finished with a clear negative split.
Held 5:03/km average pace on rolling terrain, with an estimated 5:00/km GAP, despite humid, windy conditions.

Watch Outs

Distance and climbing both spiked sharply after only one run in the last 7 days; monitor your calves, Achilles, knees, and shins for soreness over the next 48 hours.
HR drifted 3% and reached 171 bpm late, with a noticeable slowdown around km 7.5; avoid treating this as an easy run despite most time being in Zone 2.

Next Run

6 km recovery run at conversational effort, keeping HR comfortably below today's average, on mostly flat terrain - absorb the distance and elevation spike before adding another hard session.

🐐 Goggins thoughts

You earned the PRs and the negative split, but do not confuse one strong morning with having conquered the work. The distance and elevation jumped because you finally showed up after six days away; now prove it was discipline, not a one-day performance. Recover smart, then get back out and callus your mindβ€”stay hard.
