First run on vacation, nice flat beach road. Wind was tricky but I fought through it, not the pace I was aiming for but a good effort and chalked it up to a strength building workout.

Coach read

Orange Beach tempo — plan executed cleanly at 9:28/mi, right in the 9:15–9:45 window, though HR averaged 143 bpm, which ran below the 155–170 Zone 3-4 target.

Your splits tell the real story: you progressed from 9:40 in Lap 1 to 8:57 in the final stretch, and HR climbed steadily from 130 to 156 bpm — meaning the effort was building toward the right zone, it just took longer to get there.
