How it unfolded

The opening 0.8 km was uphill and started aggressively at 5:11/km before fading to 8:03/km as the grade reached roughly +12%; heart rate stayed elevated around 156-168 bpm. After the brief reset near 0.8 km, the run surged downhill from 4:36/km to 3:41/km and 4:04/km, with heart rate rising to 192 bpm before easing during the final cooldown.

Wins

Handled a hilly route at 5:58/km average pace, with an estimated 5:44/km GAP showing strong effort on the climbs.
Finished the uphill opening with a powerful downhill surge, reaching 3:41/km while maintaining momentum through the middle of the run.

Watch Outs

Heart rate was high for the short distance: 164 bpm average, 195 bpm maximum, with 9% drift from the first half to the second.
After 17 days off, the abrupt shift from 8:03/km uphill to 3:41/km downhill raises the need for an easy rebuild before adding more intensity.

Next Run

2.5 km easy run/walk on mostly flat terrain at conversational effort, keeping heart rate controlled; this rebuilds consistency after 17 days off without repeating today's high-intensity surge.

🐐 Goggins thoughts

You showed up after 17 days, but then let a short lunch run turn into a heart-rate test with a 195 bpm peak. Respect the restart, but stop chasing the downhill rush before you have built the engine back; earn the next hard effort with consistent easy miles. Stay hard by controlling the work, not by pretending every run is a battle.
