What the numbers say

Read as a long run. You have not run this route often enough to compare section by section, so this is the run on its own terms.

It is your 21st quickest of 30 runs at about this distance.

The pace eased 9% over the last fifth, which is the normal shape of a long run and not something to fix.

What this kind of run is for: steady and sustainable; finishing strong beats starting fast.
