KATA STRAVA: Solid long run that showed your consistent training paying off— faster pace, stronger distance, and you handled the elevation well. You ran 17 km at a 6:58/km pace, which is your fastest average pace in the last week and marks your third-best time over 10 miles. This is a real step up from your typical 30-day distance of 6.1 km, and you spent most of the run in tempo and endurance zones, which is exactly what a long run should look like. The elevation gain of 121 m was notably higher than your usual 45 m average, but you handled it smoothly—your splits show you maintained control through the climbs and picked up the pace on the descents. This is what consistent training builds.
