TL;DR

This was a short, hilly recovery walk rather than a typical run, with no meaningful 7-day running baseline for comparison. The 14:37/km average pace was slowed by mountainous terrain, while the estimated flat-equivalent pace was approximately 13:49/km GAP.

How it unfolded

The first 0.5 km was the hardest section: pace slowed dramatically through the climb while heart rate climbed from 149 to 172 bpm, likely reflecting steep terrain and stop-start movement. From 0.65 km onward, pace improved toward roughly 9:48-14:25/km while HR dropped into the 113-136 bpm range, producing a clear negative split and controlled finish; cool 16°C conditions and moderate wind were not major stressors.

Wins

Handled mountainous terrain at 14:37/km average pace, with an estimated 13:49/km GAP.
Finished with a negative split: after a demanding first 0.5 km, effort settled and the final section moved faster with lower heart rate.

Watch Outs

Heart rate surged to 149-172 bpm in the first 0.5 km despite very slow pace, suggesting a steep climb, stop-start effort, or an overly hard opening.
The high reported 20% first-half-to-second-half HR change warrants monitoring; ease into the next outing and watch for unusual fatigue, dehydration, or sensor noise.

Next Run

3 km easy run or run-walk at conversational effort on mostly flat terrain - rebuild consistency after 7.4 days since the last run without adding another steep climb.

🐐 Goggins thoughts

You showed up, but this was still a short walk, and the first half let the hill dictate the effort. Stop negotiating with comfort: build the habit, start under control, and turn these small outings into a base that can carry the boats. Stay hard by being consistent when nobody is impressed.
