Readiness
Push. Last night's numbers (08-03, most recent synced — today's hasn't uploaded yet): readiness 86, sleep 84, RHR 43 bpm (score 100), HRV 141 ms (score 93) — all at or above your baseline (HRV avg ~123). Day 11, ovulation phase: peak-performance window, slight HR bump would be normal but you don't even have one. No red flags, no Oura tags. Train as planned.
Today's Run
14 km GA @ 5:45–6:15/km (skeleton-set, week 11/41 base build). Houston August — assume dew point >70°F unless you've checked; add 30–45 sec/km or move the run earlier/treadmill if it's already hot by the time you start. Your last two runs (Sun 6:18/km, HR153; Thu 6:00/km) ran slow with normal-to-moderate HR — that's heat, not fatigue, so don't chase the paper pace. Effort: conversational, HR should sit ~150s. No structure needed on the watch — hit Run and go, strides optional if legs feel good late in the run.
No lift today — next lift Wed 2026-08-05 (Day 2: Quad + Shoulders + Adductors — plated abduction swap noted for Fri, not Wed).
Watch For
Recent long runs (14 km, 17.2 km) both landed slow-but-HR-fine — heat driving pace, not recovery. No compensation needed, just get out earlier if you can. Sunday's long run is capped at 21 km per the skeleton — don't push past it even if you feel great.
Nutrition
Ovulation window — appetite and recovery are usually solid; keep hydration/electrolytes up pre- and post-run given the heat, and don't skimp carbs around today's GA run.
