TL;DR

This was a steady rolling-hills run with a moderate aerobic load, and it came after 9.9 days off so it was effectively a re-entry session rather than a spike. Raw pace was 5:50/km, but the ~5:41/km GAP shows the hills cost you about 8 sec/km.

How it unfolded

The run opened conservatively, then you settled into a quicker middle stretch around 1.6-3.3 km before easing off through the flatter and downhill section around 4.1-5.6 km. The toughest patch came from roughly 4.9-6.2 km, where pace faded and HR climbed, likely as the route turned more demanding; after that you regrouped and finished much stronger with a fast last kilometer. Cool conditions helped, but the +5% HR drift shows the effort still rose as the run went on.

Wins

Held 9.56 km on rolling terrain at 5:50/km with ~5:41/km GAP, so the aerobic effort was stronger than the raw pace suggests.
Stayed mostly controlled in Z2 (81%) with no Z4-5 time, which is a solid sign you kept the run aerobic despite the climbs and one rough patch.

Watch Outs

HR drift was +5% and the mid-run section from about 4.9 to 6.2 km slowed noticeably, which suggests the hills or rhythm changes pushed effort up more than the pace shows.
You had 9.9 days since the last run and only 2 runs in the last 14 days, so the next 48 hours should be watched for calf/Achilles/quad soreness as load ramps back up.

Next Run

7 km easy aerobic run on flat terrain with relaxed Z2 effort - use it to restore rhythm after the hills and reduce fatigue before adding quality again.
