Cycle Day
Readiness
Push. Readiness 82, RHR 40 bpm (excellent, low end of your athlete-normal), HRV 127 ms (mid-baseline, not depressed). Sleep score dipped to 75 (bottom of your typical range) but one night isn't a pattern yet. Day 4 menstrual — Sims frames early-cycle as a strong training window; nothing here says otherwise. Train today's session as planned.
Watch For
Sleep score 75 last night — watch for a second low night before worrying. Back Squat plateau is real (3+ sessions) — Block B rotation to Front Squat handles it soon; don't force extra load meanwhile.
Nutrition
Menstrual day 4 — iron-forward today (Sims), protein floor still 130g on a lift day; hydrate ahead of the Houston heat.

Long-run runway
PLENTY OF RUNWAY
14 km now
→ 32 km peak by Dec 27
Being at 14 km now is not a problem. A safe ramp needs ~7 weeks of building; you have ~22 (~15 to spare). The Pfitz block from Sep 14 is what drives it.
Volume runway · goal-pace engine
ON TRACK · TIGHT
35.8 km/wk now
→ 53 at block start → 85 peak
tick = block-start target (53 km) · bar fill = your current base toward 85 km peak
~7 weeks of +10%/week building needed, ~7 left to block start — doable but tight. Consistency is the whole job now: stack weeks toward 53 km. Your one collapsed week is the risk — the ramp only holds if weeks stay consistent.
