This was a good comeback run after a full week away from running and a recent cold. The first part looked understandably heavy, but the run settled well and became progressively smoother instead of drifting into struggle.
The key signal is not the average pace by itself, but the rebound inside the session. Heart rate stayed reasonably contained for you, the legs opened up as the run went on, and the late quicker kilometres showed there was still rhythm in the system without needing to force a hard workout.
The caution is that this should still be read as a return run inside race week, not as proof that everything is magically back to normal. You started tired, took a few stops, and the late lift came after a cautious opening, so the right next step is light sharpening and freshness rather than another demanding session.
Takeaway. Good return signal. The run improved as it went, the cold seems to be fading, and the priority now should be to protect freshness and arrive at race day feeling loose rather than squeezed for extra fitness.
Next step. Easy Run. Keep the next run short, relaxed, and light. The goal is to stay loose, confirm that breathing and legs feel normal again.
