Today’s run was based on 9min run at 12:00-13:00 minute pace and 1min walk at 16:00-18:00 minute pace.

I crushed a solid 4.2-mile run at a steady 12:37/mi pace, spending nearly all my time in the endurance zone-exactly what an easy run should look like. My heart rate stayed consistently in that sweet spot (98.8% in Zone 2), showing great control and effort management. 

This was my slowest run of the week, which tracks perfectly with recovery running. Compared to my last 30 days, I’m running a bit slower than usual (11:47/mi average), but that's totally fine—my relative effort of 50 is lower than my average, suggesting I dialed it back intentionally. 

This kind of easy-paced work is crucial for building aerobic fitness without burning out.
